- Barre by Songhoy Blues is taken from their forthcoming third album, Optimisme, which is available everywhere October 23, 2020. songhoyblues.com/
Preorder Optimisme now: store.songhoyb...
Barre is sung in Songhai and translated in French and English
Talking about the track, Aliou from the band said:
"Barre means change. We need change. In the song we are inviting youth to get involved in
politics and government to bring about change because they understand the actual
challenges we face today. That’s the only way. The problem in Mali is guys from the 1960s
are still around and control everything. It’s like how yesterday gave today a chance, today needs to give tomorrow a chance."
"Youth! Let’s rise for this change!
Just as Yesterday knew how to welcome Today,
Just as Spring knew how to welcome Summer,
And Summer knew how to welcome Winter,
Old age must welcome Youth."
This verse describes how we are condemned to respect and accept the cyclical nature of all
things. We want the older generation to give space to the new generation. Especially in Mali right now, and to be honest, in Africa in general.

I’ve just heard this song on my local station in NY, USA. This song can completely relate to what our country is going through right now too.
Was looking forward to seeing these guys a few years back in Toronto, Canada, but apparently there were visa hurdles that nixed the gig.
Let's hope they can get out on the road!

It's specifically about the current situation in Mali, but this should be the youth anthem all over the world.
