With "Acoustic", Malian diva Oumou Sangaré revisits songs from her latest album *Mogoya*, and some of her essential classics (*Saa Magni*, *Diaraby Nene*). This "unplugged" recording conveys an authenticity that marks Oumou's deep attachment to the foundations of traditional music from Wassoulou, her native region. Emma Lamadji and Kandy Guira (backing vocals), the prodigious guitarist Guimba Kouyaté, and the faithful Brahima "Benogo" Diakité, a *kamele ngoni* virtuoso, gathered around her incandescent voice. The fighter, the rebel, the defiant woman generously and freely confirms that she is an artist still evolving, always at the forefront of the fight for women's emancipation, beyond tradition and modernity.
