“Mbaana” by Ouza et Les 4 Femmes Dans Le Vent - album review
features in: Album Chart of 1977 ● Album Chart of the Decade: 1970s |

At this time, the Dakar-born multi-instrumentalist Ousmane Diallo is around 30-years-old. Newly formed by the bandleader, Les 4 Femmes Dans Le Vent (The 4 Women in The Wind) are: Fatou Sakho, Fatou Talla Ndiaye, Fatou Thiam Samb, Khady Diouf. He had left Senegal in the 1960s to study traditional music in the Cote D’Ivoire, where his informed and uncompromising political views were developed, feeding in to his music. I'm led to believe he's very much a man-of-the-people: “What Senegalese do not know Ouza, the spokesman of the voiceless, the one who stigmatizes the evils of his country, the one who warns, the one who tells of the suffering of his people, his nation, his continent!” Ouza sounds alright to me.
