Personnel: Oumou Sangare (vocals); Boubacar Diallo (guitar); Aliou Traore (violin); Ahmadou Ba Guindo (bass); Brehima Diakite (bongos, kamelngoni); Oumou Sinayoro, Nabintou Diakite (background vocals). Recorded at Studio JBZ, Abidjan, Ivory Coast in February 1989. Oumou Sangare was born in 1968 in Bamako, Mali. MOUSSOLOU marks the European release of Sangare's first full-length album. "Diaraby Nene" catches fire with repetitive riffing and elaborate guitar ornamentation. This song would eventually gain wide international acclaim. The syncopated "Moussolou" is a call to the women of Mali to be true to themselves as an aching violin solo leads the way. On the closing cut "Ah Ndiya," Sangare engages in a call and response with her choral singers which is full of emotive texture. Much like Erykah Badu, Oumou Sangare provides a voice of empowerment for Malian women--and women everywhere--through her lyrics and her soulful voice.
