Introducing… Fatoumata Diawara

Sep 7, 2011, 5:51pm LOFT965
Introducing… Fatoumata Diawara Fatoumata Diawara (aka Fatou) was born of Malian parents in the Ivory Coast in 1982. As a child she became a member of her father's dance troupe and was a popular performer of the wildly flailing didadi dance from Wassoulou, her ancestral home in western Mali. She was an energetic and headstrong girl and at the age of twelve her refusal to go to school finally prompted her parents to send her to live and be disciplined by an aunt in Bamako. She was not to see her parents again for over a decade. [...]

Interview with The Very Best

May 6, 2010, 4:41pm Obscure Sound
The Very Best are a deliciously odd trio. The band formed more than four years ago, after DJ Gods Johan Karlberg and Etienne Tron of Radioclit met Esau Mwamwaya after buying a bike at Mwamwaya's used furniture/junk store in East London. In 2008, the group released a mixtape, Esau Mwamwaya and Radioclit are the Very [...]

Saa Magni: Oumou Sangare

Oct 28, 2009, 12:38pm Keep the Coffee Coming
At my first night in Marrakesh, at the riad where I stayed, an album was played. This song was on it. The album had been put together from a variety of sources by my hosts, the owners of the riad. I loved this at first hearing. Oumou Sangare, from Mali, "is the leading female star of the Wassoulou sound which is based on an ancient tradition of hunting rituals mixed with songs about devotion, praise, and harvest played with pentatonic (five-note) melodies. Wassoulou is typified by a strong Arabic feel along with the sound of the scraping karinyang, [...]

We Want It Now! For International Releases, US Is Behind the Music Curtain

We Want It Now! For International Releases, US Is Behind the Music Curtain Filed under: Around the World A big world-music fan had a frustrating shopping experience recently in Los Angeles. "I was at Amoeba Records looking for the new Baaba Maal album that I saw in London two months ago, and it's not there," he says. It's not Amoeba's fault. The store has perhaps the largest, most varied selection of international CDs in the region, if not the nation. The Senegalese star's album just hasn't been released in the U.S. yet. On the [...]

Top 10 World Music Albums, July 2009

Jul 16, 2009, 11:13am SoundRoots World Music & mp3 Blog
Top 10 World Music Albums, July 2009 This month has brought a flood of new music. Maybe it's the summer-release thing, but that makes it doubly difficult to properly weigh all the contenders for the chart. A number of CDs were close to making it onto the list but arrived late, didn't receive a rousing response to airplay, or just seemed to want to season for a bit longer before being judged. This is a tremendously strong group of albums, any of which I would recommend to the adventurous listener. Holding on from June are Moana & the Tribe, [...]

Toubab Krewe Thinking Globally, Partying Locally With Their Manifestivus Weekend Filed under: Around the World Rural northeastern Vermont and a 'Seinfeld' gag may be pretty foreign concepts to a bunch of kids at a school in Conakry, Guinea -- a mix of locals and refugees from both strife-torn Sierra Leone and Liberia.

For the second week running it features a singer from Mali as well as another ska band from the Two-Tone label. The established singer-songwriter is Cat Stevens and three up-and-coming acts also appear Growing up in the eighties, one of the bands that I heard most often on the radio was the English ska band Madness .

Bela Fleck's African Banjo Odyssey

Bela Fleck's African Banjo Odyssey Filed under: Around the World The banjo came from Africa. Béla Fleck recently took it back. At least the New Yorker took his banjo -- and his prodigious skills -- to that vast continent, not so much to find its roots but to see what those roots have grown into both in African and America. The journey has been documented on album and film, both titled ' Thrown Down Your Heart ,' centered on Fleck's trips to Mali, the Gambia, Senegal, Tanzania and Uganda to work with a [...]

Oumou Sangaré - Moussolou

Aug 23, 2008, 6:32am Doklands
Complex scraping and shaking rhythms. Warm guitars. Fantastic naïve vocals. What's not to love? I've been a fan of Oumou Sangaré since I first heard her many years ago. The key aspect to the wassoulou music of Sangaré is the way she interacts with her backing singers. There are some buzzing, nasal sounds going on there, distorting the close harmonies and making it sound as if there are far more of them. Here's the title track of her 1989 album, Moussolou , one of the most widely pirated records ever to [...]

Great Music of Mali part 94 I don't know what it is about Mali that produces so many great musicians. It's not just the Malian classical tradition, the cora-playing griots, that come up with essential listening. There's music from across the social classes that is just as entrancing. Wassoulou is a style of modern Malian folk. It's derived from traditional hunting songs. Yet in the hands of perhaps its greatest proponent, Oumou Sangaré, it goes way beyond its traditional roots. She uses the hypnotic and beautiful patterns of the [...]

Saa Magni

Jul 31, 2007, 11:03pm Do You Know How to Waltz?
Perhaps my favorite "world music" artist, as awful and broad a term that is, is the Malian singer Oumou Sangare. Her music is descended from the traditional music of the Wassoulou region. Her debut sold hundreds of thousands of copies in Africa, and she rose to international prominence with the help of the late, great Ali Farka Toure following that album. Appended to this post is the song which introduced me to her music, the excellent "Saa Magni" from her second album, Ko Sira. Enjoy. Oumou Sangare - Saa Magni
