I am a teacher of English in the United States. I designed a poster for my classroom of Fatoumata Diawara with the words "Let's show the world our culture." My students come from Africa, Nepal, and Puerto Rico. I want them to be proud of who they are. My student from Congo pointed to the poster the other day and said "Who is this?" She had never heard of Fatoumata. I wish there was a children's book about her to help inspire students to be proud of their heritage.
"Kokòrò" meaning "tradition" 'heritage" or "culture." The message is so powerful. "We want to look like the Europeans, the Chinese, the Arabs, the Indians, etc. Who is going to love us? Who is going to perpetuate our culture?" Good question for all African artists who imitate other people instead of sharing their culture with the world.
@@alexanderjimenez2781 It is not Swahili, which is spoken in Eastern Africa (Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, etc.) It's Bamanan or Jula, a key language of the Mandingo people in West Africa. In the movie series "ROOTS", a slave said "misi muso" meaning "cow" ( literally "female bovine"). That was Mandingo or Bamanan which Europeans call Bambara. You can see it as a language or a dialect. The distinction is often very hard to make with African tongues which exceed 2000 in number.
This song makes me so proud to be a chi look d of the ancestors, it just does things to me. I would love the translation to the lyrics.. all the way from SA
We need a music festival that would celebrate African Global Music! Imagine Youssou N’dour, Angelique Kidjo, Fatoumata Diawara, Salif Keita , Tamikrest, Tinariwen all on one stage 😭😭😭😭. love from 🇳🇬
Toutes les Maliens et africains sont fiers de toi FATOUMATA DIAWARA mes respect à vous. j'ai besoin votre réponse s'il vous plaît en tant que malien🇲🇱🇲🇱🇲🇱🇲🇱
I saw you at Jazz In The park, Romania.. None of my friends knew about you so I begged of them to come here and hear you play. Needless to say you simply blew their minds including mine. You now have 6 more Romanian fans
Moi l'occidentale, je compte sur vous, frères et soeurs africains, pour protéger ce qu'il nous reste de valeurs humaines... Ici en Occident, c'est difficile... Je fais ce que je peux dans ce monde qui marche sur la tête mais où tout n'est pas à jeter... Je suis fière de ma culture provençale... Qui connaît et aime sa culture est bien placé pour accepter la culture des autres car il sait ce que ça représente de façon universelle. Merci Fatoumata pour ce très beau texte et ces images incroyables !!! Et merci pour la traduction anglaise qui me permet d'accéder au texte donc au message 😘

The day I stumbled upon your music, I knew you're a blessing to Africa. I am spreading your music amongst my friend in Nigeria and my African friends from Uganda. I love your music. Love from Nigeria 🇳🇬
Much love from a Jamaican to Africa and all it's indigenous people. We are the true children of Israel and we will all be together soon. 🌍🇪🇹🇨🇬🇨🇮🇳🇬🇲🇱🇬🇭🇯🇲🇿🇦🇹🇿🇱🇷🇧🇷🇹🇬🇧🇯🇸🇸🇸🇩🇦🇴 🇹🇹🤛🏿💪🏿. Long live Africa and Africans.
Don't want to say anything that starts a discussion but I think we all should accept ourselves and embrace our cultures and accept cultures of others, after all diversity it's what makes us beautiful and unique 🧡
I first saw you on colors... your voice touches many people's souls as I can tell by the comments, including mine. It's more than your voice even. It's your eyes, and your passion. You're one of a kind, truly.
Vous fêtes un sacré boulot pour la promo de la culture Africaine de façon générale, plus singulièrement la promo de la diversité culturelle du Mali dans l’universelle Chapeau et bonne continuation
je suis un inconditionnel depuis bien avant LAMOMALI et j'avoue que vous apportez une vision sereine et diverse de l'Afrique, plus particulièrement de de Mali où je me suis installé pour ouvrir une galerie d'art contemporain avec le jeune artiste émergent Famakan Magassa. Ce que vous apportez à la culture est d'une très grande hauteur d'esprit. Au plaisir de vous rencontrer à Bamako.
Si la majorité de notre génération pouvaient suivre cette dame dans tous ses idéologie musicale,je pense que ça va beaucoup nous apporter pour notre réveil de conscience
One more beautiful song, from the greatest singer of Mali today. Fatumata Diawara holds the level of the Malian music which both with Ethiopian & the Tuareg music, are the best & more authentic & keeping it in a traditional way, melodic on Africa. Congratulations Fatumata!!!

Excellent what you did as a teacher. Fatoumata Diawara is a pure form of representing Africa through music and songs that are so melodious ❤🙏🌱😎🪁🪂🙏🦚
God bless you ma’am 🎉

And, KOKORO means "heart/soul" in Japanese.
Soul pleasing
Salute the African rich heritage
Is that in Swahili? Greetings from Dominican republic my ancestors came from Africa for that reason I would like to know more about African culture.
