Sumanguru is a familiar figure within Manding epic oral traditions about ancient Mali.

In so doing he includes hitherto undocumented episodes relating to Sumanguru's life and role as the ruler of Soso, the little known state said to have flourished in the western Sudan between the fall of ancient Ghana and rise of ancient Mali.;
