Surely one of Mali's VERY BEST singers. Great musician with charming personality and melodical voice. She helps to herald Malians as Africa's best when it comes to indigenous music. Bambara / Bamananka and Malinke beautiful musical languages. My favourite tracks from this album (FATOU) is BOLOKO (luv the NGONI on this song), SOKOLON and CLANDISTINE. Hoping to see her perform live, one day. Thapelo Lehasa, Joburg South Africa
Dear Thapela thank you I couldn't agree more. Do you know Genesisi Endlu Nkulu ? I have looked online but never found much of them. What I have is from a compilation of Zulu gospel choirs. If you have anything by them could you post it here? Fatou is wonderful and Genesisi are equally if differently so. Thank you God bless Africa and you
This important song is about female circumcision. Lyrics translated: They cut the flower that made me a woman Don’t cut the flower that makes me a woman If you circumcise girls You will make their intimate moments difficult They will always have health problems I beg you mother, don’t make them circumcise me, it hurts so much! I beg you father, don’t make them circumcise me, it hurts so much! They cut it… Mother, stop female circumcision! If you circumcise girls You will make their intimate moments difficult They will always have problems with childbirth They will always have health problems It hurts so much! It hurts so much! It hurts so much! Don’t circumcise girls It hurts so much! It hurts so much! African women live through too much hell African women live through too much suffering It hurts so much! We should look again at our ancestral beliefs and assess them It hurts so much! Keep what is good for us, and reject all that harms us It hurts so much! African women live through too much hell African women live through too much suffering It hurts so much! It hurts so much! It hurts so much! Mother…
Mervelous and strong soul, woman, sister Deep lyrics God bless you, your voice and the message that you put into it Your voice speaks for the soul and comes from it ❤ form Italy

This important song is about female circumcision. Lyrics translated:
They cut the flower that made me a woman
Don’t cut the flower that makes me a woman
If you circumcise girls
You will make their intimate moments difficult
They will always have health problems
I beg you mother,
don’t make them circumcise me, it hurts so much!
I beg you father,
don’t make them circumcise me, it hurts so much!
They cut it…
Mother, stop female circumcision!
If you circumcise girls
You will make their intimate moments difficult
They will always have problems with childbirth
They will always have health problems
It hurts so much!
It hurts so much!
It hurts so much!
Don’t circumcise girls
It hurts so much!
It hurts so much!
African women live through too much hell
African women live through too much suffering
It hurts so much!
We should look again at our ancestral beliefs and assess them
It hurts so much!
Keep what is good for us, and reject all that harms us
It hurts so much!
African women live through too much hell
African women live through too much suffering
It hurts so much!
It hurts so much!
It hurts so much!
Mother…
Jackson thank you for the translation, can you please help translate Sonkolon too?
She also speaks french and it is very clear "Arrêtez l'excision"... so powerful
What is the language?
@@mellandy87 probablement la langue Bambara / Bandakanan
On ne le faisait pas : qui même a ramené cette coutume barbare en Afrique de l'ouest ?
Je rappelle que nous (Afrique Centrale) ne le faisons pas...
Africa - dream songs - lived in Africa for many years. Close my eyes dream of Africa...
Both the live and album versions are amazing!!!
That Is sooo true 😍🔥

This song travels you to calm and distant places, where I would like to be right now!
