Global superstar and feminist icon Oumou Sangaré releases her new single 'Wassulu Don' to coincide with International Women's Day. The track, which fuses Oumou's distinctive Malian sound and voice with elements of blues and rock to create a joyous groove, is an expression of hometown pride for Wassulu, an area in the south-western corner of Mali where Oumou's family originates from. The accompanying video, directed by Justyna Obasi and filmed in Accra, Ghana, features a series of vignettes of modern African women celebrating and thriving in their own hometown communities.
Recorded in multiple locations (US, Mali and France) and her first new material since 2017's critically acclaimed 'Mogoya', 'Timbuktu' weaves intimate sonic connections between traditional West African instruments and those linked to the history of the blues, most notably the kamele n'goni and its distant heirs, the Dobro and slide guitar.
Never have Oumou Sangare's lyrics achieved such a poetic quality, such depth. Never have we seen her so inspired to deliver her thoughts on the indecipherable mysteries of existence, the perilous situation that her country is going through right now or the general condition of African womanhood, all proof that despite becoming so powerful, she hasn't renounced the belief and commitment of her youth.

Wassulu Don
Je suis heureuse, gens du Wassulu : nous avons obtenu une consécration éclatante!
On nous traitait de pauvres joueurs de Kamélé n’goni, de chanteurs et jouisseurs sans ambition… Eh bien! Qu’ils se détrompent : nous les gens du Wassulu, nous avons balayé ces allégations, et fait du Wassulu un havre de paix, une zone en pleine croissance grâce à des investissements colossaux : écoles, centres de santé, hôtels! Nous avons même fini par montrer la voie du développement à l’ensemble du pays! Qui dit mieux?
Allons dans le Wassulu, où s’épanouissent l’hospitalité, la douceur de vivre et où de beaux événements dynamisent la vie locale.
Venez avec moi dans le Wassulu où règne la joie de vivre!
__________________________
Wassulu Don
Wassulu people, I am so glad: we have reached a dazzling achievement! We were regarded as miserable n’goni players, singers, dancers only interested in partying and enjoying life… Well we, the people of Wassulu, have proved them wrong by turning our dear Wassulu into a shelter for Peace, a developing area, thanks to colossal investments: schools, health centres and hotels.
We’ve even managed to lead the way to development for the whole country! Who could do better?
Let’s go to Wassulu, where hospitality, sweet life and great events are blossoming in the local daily life.
Come with me to Wassulu, where joy is everywhere!

[@madickedia3968]

Maman Oumou toujours au top. Depuis que j’ai découvert ta musique j’ai jamais laché. J’écoute WASSULU depuis le Sénégal 🇸🇳

There is nothing better than have youtube recommend this splendid gem, I absolutely love this, even though I am not African, African music and rhythms speak to me from the soul. I am from Venezuela and in the coast of all of Venezuela the afro caribbean community has blessed us with many marvelous rhythms the are totally ingrained in our core and in our hearts. Africa is the mother of all humans. Before people were just afraid of the power of African blood and DNA, that is why they have tried to repress them for so long. Thank god I see Africa becoming stronger everyday. I hope before I die I can go.

[@michaelmaps2004]

Gender equality can enable and even accelerate the achievement of all the SDGs. While gender equality is captured as a stand-alone goal (SDG 5), gender must be integrated across all the SDGs, and gender considerations must be included in all sustainable development work and climate action.

Ask urself how was world before invasions that reached Africa.
Without Africa no Greecs Will built sciences.
Africa has educated Greecs ancestors of western. The Price of that was and is genocide...
Africa built the world at begining and the Will end with Africa.

[@timostrom5710]

i first heard the beautiful Oumou in the director's cut of the movie "kingdom of heaven." Saa Magni plays during a love scene... i went online, found plenty of albums! i work in a busy pizza restaurant. a few of my friends who also work there are DJs. we're all into music and we're always listening for new stuff to play on the house stereo. i LOVE playing Oumou at work! tons of people love it and ask me what it is. i love exposing people to music that is new to them and i have exposed a lot of people to your beautiful voice! THANK YOU!!!

J'adore la chanson la Diva mais vous pouviez faire un remix et revoir le beat c'est-à-dire changez l'instrument musical qui joue sous cette chanson par le kamélé ngoni et les tambours africains etc... avec votre mélodie irréprochable ça sera très agréable. Sur ce force et courage à vous et longue vie également à nous tous dans la santé.
