About
Her sweet yet biting songs are not saccharine tunes; rather, they are inspired by the fusion of this globalized world (La Presse, 2024). A megastar of contemporary African music, Oumou Sangaré literally set the Parterre at the Quartier des spectacles ablaze during the closing ceremony of the 25th edition in 2011, and then the MTelus stage 13 years later—two of her most memorable performances at Nuits d’Afrique. She is, without a doubt, a distinguished guest at this 40th anniversary of the Nuits d’Afrique International Festival. With a long career behind her and the recipient of numerous prestigious awards, this immense, committed, and authentic singer shines on stage. Enhanced by traditional string instruments and blues-infused guitars, her deep, crystal-clear voice—powerful, grounded, and free—transports the audience to the heart of the Wassoulou musical tradition.
The activity takes place in all weather conditions, unless safety is compromised
