«A somewhat rebellious Malian singer

who speaks out about all that is wrong with society»: these are the words Oumou Sangaré uses to describe herself. A true icon of her country, she has paved the way for many other artists to follow in her footsteps. Still very much the activist, she will be performing at the Philharmonie for the first time, as the musical spokesperson for a female community that has been silenced for far too long.
