really like these stripped down versions.......

BBC TV - Later... with Jools, 2009.Apr.24: 1.Sounsoumba / 2.Seya
source: video of the show (ZDF rebroadcast)

And when searching the BBC for more details about the 6music session, which btw I couldn't find, I came across a 1991 radio program with an interview with 'Malian Singer Oumous Sangari'(sic). In that same show was also an interview with 'Griot singer Fanta Damba', included both in the download.

For the discography check this previous post about Oumou Sangare.

Watch some recent performances:


Looking forward for the new album, to be released in May............

  2. Today by chance I discovered this post that had download, but had forgotten to listen.
    Interesting, but the better thing, to have listened to Fanta Damba's wonderful voice, and also to discover Oumou's favorite song Woula Bara Diagna.
    As that something gives, something receives, I have something to give you you, an unpublished version of OUMOU's favorite song.
