Oumou Sangare is more than just a Singer with a vibrant, attractive voice; she is an artist who has absorbed the traditions of her homeland, the Wasulu region of Mali. Her style, wassoulou, is above all indebted to the music of street celebrations and the songs of hunters. She sings of the basic values that are indispensable in the turmoil of today's world - the rights of women, emigration, hospitality, esteem, love, passion, sensuality, the future of life on earth, the need to cultivate the land, the wisdom of old age, love and death.
