Nice CD with songs by four of Mali's best vocalists: Kandia Kouyaté, Mah Damba, Sali Sidibé and Oumou Sangaré. All come from traditional musician families. Only Sali Sidibé is an outsider. She is the daughter of an Imam and had to fight hard to establish a career in music. She succeeded, and that's a good thing because she can sing beautifully. Just like the other three by the way. "The divas
… from Mali" is an exciting CD by a generation of women from different ethnic groups who sing traditional as well as more Western-oriented songs. (GO) _more
