I heard this in a commercial, or a movie trailer or a scene and I thought it is mind blowing but didn't know the names of the artist and the song. Now I do and I'm very lucky to have stumbled upon it.
Amadou & Mariam are a musical duo from Mali, composed of the couple Amadou Bagayoko (guitar and vocals) (born in Bamako 24 October 1954) and Mariam Doumbia (vocals) (born in Bamako 15 April 1958). The pair, known as "the blind couple from Mali" met at Mali's Institute for the Young Blind, and found they shared an interest in music. Amadou lost his vision at the age of 16 while Mariam became blind at age 5 as a consequence of untreated measles
Check out Theophilus London's version. "Grey and Sage." Its one of his older works, but dude is doing it big now and his remix is one song among many that has helped his career.
I like listening to music I can't understand sometimes, because then I focus on HOW things are said rather than WHAT's being said, and it allows you to take it wherever you want, thanks for posting
@AnthNoldProductions i think in the end that music is really about transmitting energy from one source to another and so independant of words it is still quite possible to give something... obviously what is being said has relevance, but regardless, one should remain open to the sounds of a world that is becoming increasingly smaller.
Music is a universal experience. I don't understand what is being spoken off here but my feelings relate to it. This has to be the most beautiful songs I have heard in a long time.
i thought it was sabari=pardon, or forgiveness in Ivorian malinke, i was surprise that it means patience in bambara, , is malinke and bambarra really different?
@sybellah No, Malinke (or Ivorian Djoula/Jula) and Bambara are very close dialects. Some words may change their meaning from one to the other, but I don't think it's the case with "sabari"/"sabali". But there is more than one translation, depending on the context. It can mean: calmness, quietness and patience, but pardon/forgiveness would be a surprise for me. In this context "patience" fits better anyhow ("If you happen to have fallen in love with someone, there is nothing like FORGIVENESS"?!)
@Noluthando143 No, it´s Bambara, the most important language in Mali. They sing: Patience is good, there is nothing like patience. I you fell in love with a man/woman, patience is good.... The spoken words and some other parts are in fact in french, they are words of love, like: I give you a big kiss, I give you a tight hug...
@Noluthando143 No, it´s Bambara, the most important language in Mali. They sing: Patience is good, there is nothing like patience. I you fell in love with someone / a man/woman, patience is good.... The spoken words and some other parts are in fact in french, they are words of love, like: I give you a big kiss, I give you a tight hug, with you, live is beatiful...
@Noluthando143 No! It´s Bambara, the most important language from Mali. The lyrics go: "there ist nothing like patience, patience is good. If you fell in love with someone (then: woman, man), patience ist good..." Then, the rest in fact is french: "....honey, with you, life is beautiful...honey I give you a big kiss, I give you a tight hug"
@mamadykamara i thought it was sabari=pardon, or forgiveness in Ivorian malinke, i was surprise that it means patience in bambara, , is malinke and bambarra really different?
Everybody should listen to this song every morning, everyday, just after waking. I think it would be great for the humanity and all the world. PEACE ON THE EARTH
I LOVE AMADOU AND MIRIAM, AND DAMON ALBARN!!! HE HELPED PRODUCE THIS SONG. ALL OF MY FAVORITE PEOPLE ON ONE SONG, his stuff is amazing, IM IN LOVE WITH HIS MUSIC!
