Moussolou

Oumou Sangaré's debut, first a best-selling cassette in Mali and then released internationally by World Circuit in 1991, when she was barely in her twenties. The title means women, and her songs address love, marriage and women's lives in the Wassoulou style, with kamalengoni harp, fiddle and call-and-response singing. It made her one of the leading voices of West African music.
