Since Moussolou, her first album released in 1989, the life of Malian singer Oumou Sangaré has known no respite. From this rich and hectic journey we can recall some of the most decisive recordings in contemporary African music, all produced by the World Circuit label: Ko Sira in 1993, Worotan in 1996 and Seya, nominated for Best World Music Album at the 2009 Grammy Awards. Numerous international tours and acclaim on prestigious stages such as the Sydney Opera House, London’s Queen Elizabeth Hall and Tokyo’s Nippon Budokan complete this list of honors. Timbuktu, the first production on her Oumsang label, is the latest act in this unparalleled musical epic, with which World Circuit is once again associated. It consecrates this artist from the slums of Bamako who has become a global superstar, as well as a universally admired feminist icon. With a powerful aura comparable to that of Grace Jones, the transgressive black icon par excellence, Oumou has long since crossed the barriers separating musical genres and continents. Yesterday invited by Alicia Keys for a televised duet, she is now cited as an example by artists as considerable as Aya Nakamura, who dedicated the song Oumou Sangaré to her in 2017, or Beyoncé, who sampled one of her most famous creations, Diaraby Néné, for the track Mood 4 Eva from the soundtrack of the film The Lion King: The Gift in 2019.

Depuis Moussolou, son premier album sorti en 1989, la vie de la chanteuse malienne Oumou Sangaré n’a connu aucun répit. De ce riche et trépidant voyage on retient notamment des enregistrements parmi les plus décisifs de la musique africaine contemporaine, tous produits par le label World Circuit : Ko Sira en 1993, Worotan en 1996 et Seya nominé dans la catégorie Meilleur Album de World Music des Grammy Award en 2009. De nombreuses tournées internationales et la consécration obtenue sur les scènes prestigieuses que sont l’Opéra de Sydney, le Queen Elizabeth Hall de Londres ou le Nippon Budokan de Tokyo, complètent ce tableau d’honneur. Timbuktu, première production de son label Oumsang constitue le nouvel acte de cette épopée musicale sans équivalent à laquelle World Circuit est à nouveau associée. Il consacre cette artiste issue des quartiers pauvres de Bamako devenue une superstar mondiale, ainsi qu’une icône féministe unanimement admirée. D’une aura puissante comparable celle d’une Grace Jones, icone noire transgressive par excellence, Oumou a depuis longtemps franchi les barrières séparant genres musicaux et continents. Hier invitée par Alicia Keys pour un duo télévisé, elle est désormais citée en exemple par des artistes aussi considérables qu’Aya Nakamura, qui lui a dédié la chanson Oumou Sangaré en 2017, ou Beyoncé, qui a samplé l’une de ses plus célèbres créations, Diaraby Néné, pour le titre Mood 4 Eva tiré de la bande originale du film The Lion King : The Gift en 2019.
