I love Salif Keita bcz in this song he speak the truth ,He say sometime the child we woman didn't give birth to will respect us more than our own child.He say that He love her but she don't love him back but it's ok bcz is not her fault and it's not his(that's way it is) ,(gonbandamai gonbadamai) who can help Me, who can help Me (I say only Allah(GOD) can help you )Oh I am so luck to be Manikan bcz that's the languish he speaking. Gonbamdamai Salif Keita Allah baiandamai : ) <3 <3

Childbearing women Women who bear children My mothers Forgive me My mother is a woman
Forgive me Forgive me
One bears a child That child doesn’t gain from you You might get a child And not gain from that child You might not bear a child But gain from that child
Who will help me? Who will help me? Who will help me?
My love My love told me My love Said that… She doesn’t want love She said she wants marriage She wants marriage She doesn’t know what it is She doesn’t want love
I told her I don’t want marriage If she doesn’t want love Who will help me? Who will help me?
I wen out last night In the moon light I went out To the river
I thought of my love What did I hear? What did I hear? It’s making a lot of noise
The river is crying It’s making noise Fish are “jumping” in the river
La musique malienne avec ses instruments de musique traditionnels est une pure merveille. Merci à Salif Keita... Nous n'avons pas besoin de comprendre les paroles, il faut seulement écouter et laisser cette musique nous imprégner...
Music is unversal, i love Saliof Keita's music, he is an icon of African music. I must take this opportunity to deplore those is Eastern africa, particularly In Tanzania who persecute Albinos for no reason, this barbaric acts must stop in name of humanity.
wow! every time i listen to Salif i am transported back to africa,so powerful,so raw,so beautiful,his music speaks 2 U. U dont need to know the lyrics. So Proud to be African. Big Up to U Salif!
I'm Nigerian and have no idea what Salif is talking about but i love the music with a passion, Nigeria do gr8 music but i'm not sure which i prefer- Nigerian or Mali music, u guys do gr8 music, there's som'n about mali music, i think its the blend btw arabic and sub saharan music.
i live in England at the moment but am somewhere in Africa on business and i was woken this morning when i heard my neighbour playing this song. i just had to find it on the internet!
wen i rolled my car i was playing this song. i was on my way to see my frend who was stabbed n wounded n was calling for me. i did nt make it. my frend passed away before i cud get to him. it was the saddest day of my life.we use to play this song n dream of owning beach houses n Audi R8's.lol..miss that fuckface man!!!!!! beautiful song
@BigBossGambino I don't know what the song is about, but the music and singing says it all to the soul of man kind, when you make music and have so much feeling more than words, the music becomes more important, the music and song is speaking too! a work of art well dun!

Salif Keita (born August 25, 1949) is an internationally recognized afro-pop singer-songwriter from Mali. He is unique not only because of his reputation as the Golden Voice of Africa, but because he has albinism and is a direct descendant of the founder of the Mali Empire, Sundiata Keita. Check out his bio on wikipedia
Pour moi c'est la plus belle voix du monde. Je t'aime Salif, tu es le seul artiste qui me mets dans une meditation totale. Depuis mon enfance jusqu'aujourd'hui j'ai des frissons quand je t'écoute, personne ne saura dire combien de fois tu es précieux.
Hello.Does anyone know the title of one of Salif Keitas songs which has this really great video from what i can remember. The video is of a village raid , featuring a boy with killer bees around him controlling them , lighting ,arabs on horse back . Please let me know .Thanx . Oh and if anyone can translate this question into french it woulb be great .
Title is "Donsolou" , which is the song that accompanies the film you're talking about, but to find the original album look for "Sirga". By the way, that song Donsolou is my most favorite I have listening to it for last 16 year. Good luck.
it is featured at least on the album Moffou. it was also one of the encores when i heard him live last year. picture that: just him with the guitar on a dimly lit stage. *shiver*
Salif just has that thing. Just like Ray Charles and all the other geniuses of Motown. You do not need to understand the language. Listen and let the music speak to you, whoever you are, wherever you are.
wonderful song, i have no idea what he's singing about but i like it. it sounds sad though,almost makes me cry....big up salif keita and all other artists out there.
hi you are our best artist. i hope you will continue to share interresting things whit us. i live now in usa but still i am african and i am proud to enjoy your songs
