    Oumou Sangare

    From the heart of the African continent, Mali’s regal six-foot proto-feminist Oumou Sangare unabashedly propels the past into the future by performing authentic music from her Peul/Wassoulou heritage. The strategy? Sangare spares no concert from lyrics that pour a subversive pedagogy into the unworldly ears of young women. Ever since her debut recording, Moussolou —“Women" (World Circuit/Rounder Records), Sangare has been singing songs of revolt against the abuses euphemistically referred to as customs: arranged marriages (the translation of Ko Sira , Sangare’s second CD), servitude as a wife, womanizing, polygamy, and the sale of brides for “ten kola nuts,” known as Worotan , the title of her new release.

In Wassoulou (and other areas of Mali), music is usually created by those of a certain caste (jeli/griot), and it can be controversial for artists outside of these castes to perform. Salif Keita is likely the most prominent example of a non-musical-caste performer to confront and conquer adversity relating to these cultural restrictions.

    Ramata's aunt, Djénéba Diakité, asked her to sing backing vocals on a cassette, which was the start of her musical career,
