Oumar Konaté – I Love You Inna

"Oumar Konate's brilliant new studio album, I Love You Inna, was recorded in Bamako Mali during the Spring of 2018. A superstar in Mali, Oumar can be found every weekend playing in nightclubs, concert halls, and on festival stages across that country. He can shred like no other on electric guitar and at the same time make you cry. I Love You Inna, his fifth album, features on bass long-time collaborator Dramane Toure, former lead guitarist for the late great Khaira Arby, and on percussion power-house drummer Makan Camara. Oumar invited other friends into the sessions to add their unique perspective to the project. Sometimes jubilant, sometimes angry, Oumar reflects the mood of young people in Mali today. His songs range from love songs to dance anthems to ballads. This is new music is from an award-winning singer/songwriter whom audiences from all over his country adore." (Forced Exposure)
