| Marisa Monte & Oumou Sangare |
Music - Live
Marisa Monte's deeply moving music and rich, remarkable voice have made her one of Brazil's biggst stars. She has a stunning stage presence and a beautiful voice that seamlessly swings across pop music boundaries. Blending Brazilian folk and romantic pop styles, she is a gifted singer with a sensual, earthy voice that can swing, samba and purr.
From the Wassoulou region of southern Mali, Oumou Sangare is arguably the world's best-known Wassoulou singer and one of Mali's most acomplished artists. With a clear, glorious alto voice, she creates a modern sound by reworking ancient Wasssoulou instruments with electric bass, guitar and violin. Traditionally this music was performed by hunters to charm the wild animals and invoke the protecting spirits, but Ms. Sangare's lyrics focus on themes of love and the problems of young women living in African cities today.
