Today's island music is from the beautiful Oumou Sangare of Mali. Being Wassoulou, she is commonly known as 'The Songbird of Wassoulou'. She is also known as the Songbird of Miles Island! I've had one of her albums for almost 10 years now, and it still sounds refreshing. Many of her songs advocate for human rights, particularly with regard to issues such as child marriage and polygamy. Hear her music over at her myspace, and look below for a song and a video. As she says: "Oumou Sangare is greeting you. Listen hard to what I have to say."
