Oumou is a compilation album by Malian singer Oumou Sangaré, released in 2003. This double album includes songs from her previous albums, as well as unreleased material and songs that were only available on cassette in Mali. Sangaré's music is rooted in the Wassoulou musical tradition, a modernized version of an ancient hunters' musical tradition, which featured the kamalengoni, a 6 stringed African harp. Sangaré blended that with violin, electric guitar, bass, and her powerful, passionate lyrics, taking Mali by storm in the early '90s.
