Oumou Sangare's WOROTAN follows the rich tradition of Malian `griot', story-teller, music.  She sings mainly about social issues, addressing traditional values as well as injustices in a very personal way.  The griots have been famous throughout West African cultures as the entertainers at festivals and major family occasions, as well as the recorders of family history and the social conscience of a whole ethnic group.  The griots are a special `caste' and only people from selected families are allowed to assume the role.  Griots move outside the mainstream of the class society.  There are any number of famous griots in the Malian music scene.Some of the songs might seem somewhat monotonous or repetitive and it is worth reading the text of the songs to understand what she is conveying to her audience. Oumou's beautiful voice is not in the forefront in all songs; she is accompanied by a women's chorus that is typical for Malian music but not necessarily the most melodious for the non-accustomed ear.  Her voice though, is powerful, varying with the theme she addresses.  It is particularly beautiful in the last track, a haunting song about her anguish about the world around her.A mix of traditional instruments, such as the ngoni, a one-string guitar-like instrument, the Peul flute and, of course, the essential djembe, the Malian drum, are combined with modern instruments resulting in a good variety of accompaniments.WOROTAN means `10 kola nuts', a traditional bride price.  Kola nuts are in general regarded as a precious gift that is offered on many occasions.  Likewise, this CD is a treasure that can be offered and enjoyed by many.  For newcomers to Malian music it should be listened to a few times so that the increasing familiarity with the music allows an increase in listening pleasure.
