Musow Danse

Description

Mamani Keïta, Oumou Sangaré and Mariam Doumbia join forces for a common project!Les Amazones d'Afrique is a creative force that embraces international voices, soft and strong harmonies that invoke the rights of women and girls, and a blend of heritage and new genetic talents. The group was formed in Bamako, Mali, in 2014 by three famous Malian music stars and social change activists, Mamani Keïta, Oumou Sangaré and Mariam Doumbia, and the collective has since expanded to involve many female artists from across Africa and the diaspora. While their cause - the campaign for gender equality and the eradication of ancestral violence - is commendable enough in itself, their musical creative expression is equally powerful. Richly melodic and varied, it blends pan-African styles and collaborative harmonies with gritty, contemporary pop. After two successful albums produced by Doctor L, innovator of Congotronix, the group worked with renowned pop producer Jacknife Lee (U2, Taylor Swift, Modest Mouse) to present a totally new sound on their third album "Musow Danse", which draws inspiration from hip-hop, trap and electronic music.
