- Two living legends from Africa, representing the male & female vocal tradition, in the beautiful acoustic music style from Mali.
Tracklist:
Habib Koité: Kanawa, Din Din Wo, Saramaya, Wassiye.
Oumou Sangare: Diya Gneba, Moussolou, Woula Bara Diagna, Diaraby Nene.
Habib Koité (Bambara: Habib Kuwate, born 1958 in Thiès, Senegal) is a solo singer, songwriter and guitarist, based in Mali. His band, Bamada, is a supergroup of West African musicians, which included Kélétigui Diabaté on balafon up until his death in 2012.
Koité is known primarily for his unique approach to playing the guitar by tuning it on a pentatonic scale and playing on open strings as one would on a kamale n'goni. Other pieces of his music sound more like the blues or flamenco which are two styles he learned under Khalilou Traore.
Koité's vocal style is intimate and relaxed, emphasizing calm, moody singing rather than operatic technical prowess. Members of Bamada play talking drum, guitar, bass, drum set, harmonica, violin, calabash, and balafon. Koité composes and arranges all songs, singing in English, French, and Bambara.
Koité was born in 1958 to musical parents, from whom he learned instrumentation by watching and listening. He joined the Bamako National Institute of Arts and became a conductor in 1978 after only six months of playing. He graduated in 1982, and formed his band Bamada in 1988. The name "Bamada" is a nickname for residents of Mali's capital city Bamako, and the word roughly translates as "In the mouth of the crocodile." Other members of the band were friends of Koité's from childhood.
Oumou Sangaré (born February 25, 1968 in Bamako, Mali) is a Grammy Award-winning Malian Wassoulou musician, sometimes referred to as "The Songbird of Wassoulou". Wassoulou is a historic region south of the Niger River, where the music descends from age old traditional and cultural songs, which is accompanied by a calabash. Sangaré's mother was the singer Aminata Diakité.
As a child, Oumou Sangaré sang in order to help her mother feed their family as her father had abandoned them. At the age of five, she was well known for her talents as a gifted singer. After making it to the finals of a contest for the nursery schools of Bamako, she performed in front of a crowd of 6,000 at the Omnisport Stadium. At 16, she went on tour with the percussion group Djoliba.
Sangaré recorded her first album, Moussoulou ("Women"), with Amadou Ba Guindo, a renowned maestro of Malian music. The album was very successful in Africa, with more than 200,000 copies sold.
With the help of Ali Farka Touré, Sangaré signed with the English label World Circuit. At the age of 21, she was already a star.
Oumou Sangaré is considered an ambassador of Wassoulou; her music has been inspired by the music and traditional dances of the region. She writes and composes her songs, which often include social criticism, especially concerning women's low status in society.
Since 1990, she has performed at some of the most important venues in the world: the Melbourne Opera, Roskilde festival, festival d'Essaouira, Opéra de la monnaie of Brussels.
Many of Sangaré's songs concern love and marriage, especially freedom of choice in marriage. Her 1989 album Moussoulou was an unprecedented West African hit. In 1995, she toured with Baaba Maal, Femi Kuti and Boukman Eksperyans. Other albums include Ko Sira (1993), Worotan (1996), and a 2-CD compilation Oumou (2004), all released on World Circuit Records. Sangaré supports the cause of women throughout the world. She was named an ambassador of the FAO in 2003 and won the UNESCO Prize in 2001 and was made a Commander of the Order of Arts and Letters of France in 1998.
Oumou Sangaré is an advocate for women's rights, opposing child marriage and polygamy.
Sangaré is also involved in the world of business, including hotels, agriculture and automobiles. She has launched a car, the "Oum Sang", manufactured by a Chinese firm and marketed in conjunction with her own company Gonow Oum Sang. She is the owner of the 30-room Hotel Wassoulou in Mali's capital, Bamako, a haven for musicians and her own regular performing space. "I helped build the hotel myself. I did it to show women that you can make your life better by working. And many more are working these days, forming co-operatives to make soap or clothes."
Sangaré has also been a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, but says she does not want to be a politician: "While you're an artist, you're free to say what you think; when you're a politician, you follow instructions from higher up." - Hudba

Thank, for feeding us great music 🎶

Born musician. Great guitarist as a teen before even going to the school of music in Mali. People were amazed after he gave a concert in Austin, Texas (he was on a US tour). If you say you are from Mali, people in Austin will just talk about Habib's concert. They said, they haven't seen anything like that. Simply amazing!
Wow beautiful to hear, give thanks for sharing!
je aime l AFRIQUE , JE SUIS DE LE VENEZUELA JE AIME LES AFRICANS ET SA MUSIQUE CA ME PLAIT BEAUCOUP, SALUT.
Wow - just blown away. Been a Habib Koite fan for years, but with the influence from Mali, and the music there is awesome as well, it's music made in heaven.
+Jenna West Thank you very much ... you are so right! What a blessing the music is.

C'est un chanteur de haut classe Africaine de nôtre ère.
+Bounty sayyarath c'est la vérité merci!
Some of my favorite music is from Mali
Mine too!
Warm and positive music from Africa. It is so important in cold Russia :)
+Елена Назарковская yes let it heat up the place!
Before live in Dakar for 1 year due to a job at United Nations Office, I knew Salif Keita by his beautiful song "Tomorrow" at "Ali" movie. When I arrived at the Senegal capital I was introduced to african rythms, as Salsa Congolaise, the Zouglou and Decalé from Cote d´Ivoire or even the senegalese singers as Youssou N Dour and Ismael Lo. It was a perfect dive in all these heart musicians. But, once I heard the own Salif Keita and began to diiscover Mali singers as Amadou et Mariam, Mokobé, Oumou Sangaré, Habib Koité, Ali Farka Touré and so many others. I came back to Brazil but Africa will live forever in my memories and thanks in a great part due to his music.
+Luiz Santiago wow thanks for sharing your amazing story and journey to the soul of african music.
😃
i agree with you totally! Do you have any suggestions for african artists i might not know? I suggest you should check out Oliver Mtukudzi and Boubacar Traore, they are both amazing too
Beautiful, beautiful music...
+ Carolina Hickman sooo amazing!
Poets listen to African music and we shed our skin to fly back to the uncharted moods of the soul. Habib Koite and Oumou Sangare possess the blood of the Poet and transport us into a deeper silence of consciousness made from the fabric of the cosmos. Blessings to one and all across the clouds of our beings and inspirational waters. Un abrazo, Jose Angel Figueroa, Poeta, desde Puerto Rico and Noo Jork.
wow give thanks for your beautiful words, really touch me. Blessed love
Sending love from Kenya😚

Through the Grape~Vine: Take It to the Mountain~Top, & give It your very Best... You'll find a Place along your Journey, where U may pause & take a deeper Breathe... However, do not pause too long, for the rest of the world is waiting, anticipating to hear your Glorious Song~~~ & we continue to Move in Radiant~Light, while keeping Faith in Living~Spirit~~~
Often times we are no further apart than the moves we make: Heart to Heart!!! I salute Alicia Keys & Oumou Sangare' for bridging the Waters, & Land between America’s Harlem, & Africa’s Mali~~~
From the start, I share my stories from my Soul & Heart; come with me, celebrate with me, dance with me; don't hold back, that’s not where it’s at!!!
In the quiet of the Moment, my Soul sings out, while my Spirit Dances upon the strings with my hands held out... Let we continue to Move in Radiant~Light, while keeping Faith in Living~Spirit~~~
Wow beautiful said. Keep shining the light and joy on this planet. We need it more than ever. Mali's music is like a touch of the divine. Feeling such a strong and blessed meditation. Remebering my west africa travel's in melancholic way. The heart & soul will never leave africa. GOD bless Habib & Oumou!
Beautiful... Thank you Robert and Ras...You let the light of God shine. Yes...the music from Mali is brought directly from the Divine. I am blown away by the sheer beauty. I want to go on my knees and thank the universe I live today just to hear this.

Estive presente a espetáculo de Habib Koité em Luanda no final dos anos 90. Indescritível de tão belo. Até hoje me lembro daquele momento com profunda emoção. I was present to a show Habib Koite gave in Luanda late '90. It's impossible to describe it so beautiful it was. Until now I remember that moment with deep emotion. J'ai été présent à un concert de Habib Koité á Luanda à la fin des années 90. Impossible de le décrire tellement beau il a été. Jusqu'à présent je me souviens de ce moment avec profonde émotion.
Thank you for sharing!
Im happily enthralled
give thanks and praises!
