‘O Wasso Wara’ means ‘Your Soul Is Beautiful’ in Mandjak. (native language of Poundo. This track is an ode to women. 

In a world where one constantly questions the legitimacy of women’s actions, social positions or appearance, ‘O Wasso Wara’ is a message of hope and encouragement for those who do not cease to reinvent themselves and fight for their dreams. Visually, the music video transcends Poundo’s dream: a benevolent sisterhood imbued with spirituality. 

‘O Wasso Wara’ is like a dream, a desire for space and freedom. Relieved from the weight of social conventions, Poundo and her 4 spiritual sisters let their emotions speak through their dance, body, nature and spirit. 

The last stage of this spiritual journey takes us to the heart of the Saint-Quentin basilica with its marble labyrinth. A high place of pilgrimage from the 12th century, this maze represents the long road to paradise for the penitent. Like a resurrection, the 5 ‘sisters’ meet here to complete their journey and unveil their past in the privacy of this sacred place.

Thus, liberated and deified, they are paving the way for all women. 

Poundo encourages each of them to celebrate their past, live their present and invent their future. Because remember… whatever happens, their soul is beautiful.
