Interpreter: Oumou Sangare
Label: World Circuit
Location: Mali

With her fifth album, and the first for five years, it’s a sensuous, taut collection of edgy material from Mali’s leading lady. No electrickery, as on her last album, just straight ahead, straight from the heart stuff, touching topics of relevance both locally and globally. Superb playing and arrangements back up her peerless vocal, as you might expect.
