Here she sings her powerful lament about the ancient city of Timbuktu, under assault by religious fundamentalists:
THIS IS MY LAND
This is Timbuktu, my home land,
Where the children are mourning from gloom,
This is my land, Timbuktu «the Maliba»,
The land of love,
The land of warmth,
The land of dignity,
Here is my Nation…
Why are we crying?
Why are the children crying?
Why are the young crying?
Cause of unfairness,
Cause of violence,
Fearing the future…
Here is my home
Stop crying
Cause no matter what, Timbuktu will remain

Incroyable Femme, belle comme un soleil, sa voix nous emportes si loin, sans comprendre ses textes vous rentre dans le coeur Merci Madame
merci a vous❤
I’m 39% Malian.Very high percentage than anyone from the US..We called my late paternal grandma Mamou which means grandmother in Mali.Im loving her music,most likely a root blood lineage connection.
TiYah Israel you're welome in Mali ❤️
Welcome
Bless Malians endlessly. Liberty to Mali 🇲🇱 2020
This song always get me teary. Love from Nigeria
1 love bro🇳🇬🤞🏾
I don't understand her language but I love her and her kind of music. She's my birthday mate. 🇳🇬Love from Nigeria.
I don't understand the language either, but the song is full of soul; the essence of humanity: freedom, self-affirmation, love, and happiness. One Love and One Peace!
Am in heaven somebody please help me with this Angelic voice.
Timbuktu is my fav place in the world. love and respact from Somalia
I Can’t Believe we got Angel 😇 like this on earth 🌏 fatoumata you have a heart ❤️ Of gold 🇱🇷🇱🇷 from Liberia living in the U.S 🇺🇸
Im part of her songs, its rooted in my soul because this is the heritage of Africa on display even without understanding not one word.
Universal expression .... Good Music....you feel good songs even without understanding the language
What a song, what a performance, what a passion, what a deep meaning, what a WOMAN!
Not a but.
I could feel the song in my soul.Africans are beautiful & hardworking people,unfortunately their leaders & government is letting them down.
It is not just on the continent of Africa. People all over the world are being tricked into believing these religious leaders. They are giving up their hard earned money, their freedom, and self determination for a ticket to Heaven when they die. All they are doing is making these so called religious leaders more wealthy, and robbing themselves and their family of a future. The World needs to wake up and throw off the shackles of religion. It is the only people everywhere can truly be free.
Not to mention almost every powerful nation and even empires of old using Africas resources and more importantly their people for their own countries development. Truly sad
Beautiful song also singing compliment from kerala lndia.
@@sahirmohammedhaneefa5514 she isn't only singing she is also crying!!!
Yes...the governments in may African nations are crooked, but keep in mind that White interlopers caused many of the problems on the Motherland through colonization. Many African Nations are less than 50 years out of colony rule...The US on the other hand is 240+ years out of colonial rule and still have issues. Europe knew exactly what it was doing by dividing Africa and breaking up tribes.
Ashe'o mama. Ashe'!! The time is here, the time is now for African true liberation from internal and external corruption. Ashe'o.
Nana Ochi yep enough I can’t stand seeing my people in pain all over the globe I can’t take it anymore ✊🏿🙌🏿🇭🇹
Nana Ochi asheo
Fatou my dear, you are just blessed. I hope that Mali finds peace and throw the bums out.
Song is life, song is harmony, song is happiness and sadness, and it tells of flying up to the sky, and of sinking into a hole opening in our soul, song is life. May you forever sing free sister
This woman has got swag. She is full of soul.Reminds me of Erika Badou. She is so elegant.
Music from Mali!!!! OMG!!! I have been waithing to see this/ hear this music!!!! Thanx a lot to the supergreat group and the female singer: Fatoumata Diawara!!! Loving it!!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏♥️♥️♥️♥️👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🇸🇯🇸🇯🇸🇯🇸🇯love from Irene in Norway
Music is truly a universal language... Love from South Africa 🇿🇦 ♥️♥️
I love her so much 🔥🔥 I pray she can link up with Zahara and do a song 🔥🔥🔥🔥
On day to day basis the only way to celebrate creation is through music from Timbuktu ànd Kara institute sources God created cosmos through music not just word
I thought i was the only South African who's obsessed ka mmino wa gage. Hi fellow Fatoumatians🙌
Bathong le nna ke obsessed ka mmino wa Fatou Diawara and she remind me of Mama Busi Mhlongo fellow South African
@@blazohada679 Zahara not that authentic
One thing about Malian music it should be linked to spirits
A benchmark for the beautiful side of the human soul. Just found this woman tonight. So thankful
Une des rares artiste a avoir exactement la même voix sur seine que sur l'album. C'est rare, il faut le souligner
I learnt about The great empire of Timbuktu.
Her voice is beautiful
BEATIFUL,Timbuktu,the oldest university in Africa is there.
The oldest University in the entire world along with the University in Alexandria...
Actually no we had one before that sankore university and the oldest university in the world is found in Morocco
Africa founded every major civilisation in the world, Kush, Kemet, Sumer, Akkad, Assyria, Persia, India, China, Olmec, inter alia. No civilisation exists without a university. To wit, Timbuktu is at least 10 millennia short of being the first University Africa aka Afruika. But it certainly predated many outside of Africa.
Thanks for sharing!..
Spread the knowledge!!!!..
I don't know the language she is used, but I am moved in my imagination, crossing the Sahara to Timbuktu. I am listing while crying from the deep of my soul😢 Peace, love and unity shall be among Africans. Love u from Ethiopia🇪🇹
I don't understand the language she sings but I'm obsessed with this timbuktu song

تحياتي لك من مراكش إلى تومبوكتو 🇲🇦❤❤
Beautiful music from the daughter of Africa. The brief introduction of the song itself is so touching.
i love this song.... much love from Nigeria
God bless your voice, bless Mali and Africa! You are a female Champion !
Fatoumata is also my sister's name. Over a decade ago in Bamako I met a child with the voice of an adult. She was a toddler at the time. She must be 15 or 16 now. I think she was from Troare tribe. One of her grandfather's name is Dembele. He is an artist, Bogolan. I came to study with him. I would like him to know I have not forgotten any thing. Hope to see you all again one day soon. Love Julie Ann
Oh quelle belle voie magique sans effet audio. Je découvre cette musique Malienne depuis le Rwanda. Heureux d’entendre une musique aussi pure et naturelle. Que Dieu te benisse Daiwara pour ce message. Ça me fait penser de visiter le mali. Un jour peut-être. Keep that vibe ! Pour finir j’aime comment les grand artiste de là bas comme keita s’appelle des noms africains
Rich woman with rich performance mixed with appealing history with her rhythm. BAYAkAlOooo- BoYaYah- Fassooayahh- Siddiyou- WalAa 1st time hearing her . The lady with lovely voice everything expressed by her is special Its Everything you wanted the eardrum to experience such joy (what’s she saying anyone) throughout her fantastic flow
I discovered her music a few years back. She's one of my favourite singers!!
Longue vie a toi grand soeur Fatoumata diawara🇲🇱😍❤😘✊🏾
فنانة راءعة 🇲🇦❤
Love from India..may God bless your country...
@@AlouSamake-pf8zm Thanks
Got hooked with this Music dont know why? pure soul very poised lady, the music is unparalleled by African standard sounds very good
mon Dieu j'aime tlm tt ski viens de ce pays le Mali alors kej sui camerounaise. quand on parle du Mali c l'Afrique et sa pureté. merci Mali!!!!!!
Sakinatou Adada Moussa merci ont t'aime aussi. Va écouter Oumou Sangaré "maladon" ça veut dire toute personne est la bienvenue au Mali. Elle dit que c'est en acceptant l'un que l'autre t'accepte. Qu'il faut éviter la discrimination car nous les noirs en général si veux bien être logique et clair tu verras qu'on a les mêmes culture et même origine se sont les blancs qui nous ont divisé. Et c'est à nous de comprendre et ce soutenir l'un comme l'autre sans la discrimination, dans la paix et amour, c'est la seule manière d'avancer pour nous.
sakinatou je suis une camerounaise vivant au Mali. c'est un pays où les gens sont très accueillants 💖
On t'aime aussi de tout nos coeurs
Yes, send it into the atmosphere of change. I love this music. I normally hear this type of music in an Ethiopian restaurant. Fantastic singer and band.
Very touching. Here is the Somali translation of the lyrics:
Halkani waa baradaydii (dhulkaygii)
Tani waa Timbuktu, hoygaygii,
Meel ay carruurtu la taahayso murugo,
Tani waa baradaydii, Timbuktu “Maliba”
Arladii jacaylka,
Arladii diirranaanta,
Arladii sharafta,
Tani waa ummaddaydii,
Maxaa naga oohinaya?
Maxaa ay carruurtaydu u ooyaaan?
Caddaalad darro darteed,
Qalalaase darteed,
Timaaddada cabsi laga qabo…
Halkani waa baradaydii,
Joojiya oohinta
Maxaa yeelay, in ay qaadataba, Timbuktu ayaa hadhi!
What a beautiful Artist! God bless you from Eritrea.
Happy to find my fellow Eri share the same music taste. I also enjoy habib koite, salif keita, fela kuti and many more.
I am crying while watching this
God bless this beautiful (outside and inside) charismatic, super talented and FIERCE sister!
Fatoumata Diawara you are amazing. I'm obsessed with this song. Sing truth. Speak truth. Freedom must come now. That guitar is awesomely more than blast.
une des inombrable voies d or de l Afrique.l Afrique recèle de beaucoup de richesse et j en suis sure que quand elle réveillera,elle fera la différence.
Ce qui serait bien c'est que soit préservé aussi la nature d'une façon générale. Car c'est un trésor. Souvent développement rime avec béton et agriculture intensive, on fait alors reculer l'espace vital de la faune et de la flore. Après pour restaurer tout cela ça devient un casse tête pas possible. Après on fait tout reculer car il n y a plus d'autres choix: normal un éléphant on lui laisse peu de place alors il fera des dégâts et sera un réel risque pour les personnes ...résultat il faut le supprimer. Cela veut dire être mis devant le fait accompli. Cette nature doit constituer un patrimoine qui peut aussi être un facteur de développement. Je sais que cela ne peut pas tout résoudre mais si on scie la branche sur laquelle on repose on tombe, si on abat l'arbre, tous les arbres alors on a un bénéfice rapide qui fondra très vite. Après on est déshabillé.
Bonne journée.
Je dirais une voix d'or du monde. Mon Dieu qu'est ce que ça fait plaisir d'entendre une vraie chanteuse
@@izzy67000 Oui c'est une vraie chanteuse. On est loin du monde de paillette du show bizz.
fatou no words, she is my feeder, from ethiopia
Beautiful, the lyrics are in the description , they're trully beautiful.
Love from your brother from America
Her message is clear and sweet...islamists AL Queda came and destroyed the thinkers of Timbaktu...one day they will go and peace will return..
ฟังไม่เคยเบื่อ From Thailand👍👍👍👍👍
Africa got talent and she is outstanding
Courage ca va aller inch'Allah. Je suis d'être Malien♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Timbouctu was a great center of learning. The scholars there were ahead of their time.
Our african music makes me want to work as a physician not only in Angola my country, but in all Africa. One step at a time thank you Fatou
Como é bom ouvir essa música, esse som, que sai de dentro da gente, pulsa, e retorno como "anima", posto que já é...

Maravilhosa mulher. Brilhante! Diva!
I love what she dresses, beautiful colours, I watched nearly all her videos, I think..However, the original video of this song is way more emotional, it was far me, I wept..It shows what's happening there.Love You, your music and above all your voice, hope you're safe and sound always !
Je ne peux retenir mes larmes, with you Lord all things are possible. We need peace in #Mali
