Gorgeous in every sense - Oumou is a true artist and superstar. Real soul music and a hugely funky band. The sound in the Siam tent was excellent too. I can't believe she doesn't get more recognition in the UK!

Oumo Sangare - exciting, charismatic, entertaining and an incredible voice. A complete surprise and the most memorable set of the weekend.

I just heard Oumou on a world music station and of all the music I have been listening to all day hers was the only song that made me rush to the computer and investigate who this beautiful voice and music belonged to. I will go out and buy her c.d. now and hope that she comes to tour Canada. We have a fabulous outdoor Afro-fest music festival every year in Toronto, maybe she will show up sometime. Maybe she already did but I wouldn't have known who she was. Now I do I will make up for lost time listening to her music. March 2006

one of the best singers of mali alongside with ali farka toure and many others.she represents the position where the african woman should really be.her albums reflects this especially the theme of marriage.

i love oumou.

i dont think any body can sing in africa like oumou,because no body have ever said something nagative about oumou's talented ways of singing. as a matter of fact she has raised the level of singing in africa to the extend that african music is now recognized almost everywhere in the world. keep it up oumou your the best and you will always be the best as far as i am concern.

heard this woman at a festival on south beach, fl--she literally stopped traffic. all manner of folks began drifting toward the stage spellbound. then i recently heard her in washington dc at the folklife festival on the national mall. again she rocked. oumou forever.

I wachted her on stage in Hamburg. Though ia am not from Mali, but her soft voice and omniprescence on stage was very mesmerising.

I do love Oumou Sangare and I love her songs too. I haven't been in Africa, I hope I'll get a chance to go there just to see Oumou Sangare.

I saw Oumou this past sunner in Central Park, NYC and I just listened to the entire concert she gave at WOMAD, thanks to BBCi. She is a first rate singer and entertainer and her lyrics are more relevant and meaningful than that of most other contemporary artists. Superb!!!
