There is no denying that the core strength of the songs on Timbuktu lies in Oumou Sangaré’s powerful voice, both as a writer, singer and proponent of women’s rights.
Our Song of the Day is Djoukourou, taken from Malian pioneer Oumou Sangaré’s forthcoming album ‘Acoustic’. The album is out next Friday and is the final instalment in her trio of related ‘Mogoya’ projects.
With Oumou Sangaré’s mesmerising vocals, irresistible beats, and soulful social justice commentary, Mogoya is an album to continually return to for strength and celebration.
