  • What is the name of the Song?

  • Great music!

  • Here's what I make of it: Oh, Magen (Oh, Magen) Oh, Magen (Oh, Magen) when shall I see my home when shall I see my destiny? I shall never forget my home I leave my mother I leave my father I leave them far away I leave them far away nee nah? I shall never forget my home Or maybe it's I shall never forget my own

  • Lo mejor

  • respect...

  • when they do in their mother/father- languages, its much mor identic, but anyway, this is very nice-RESPECT

  • nice hat!!!

  • This is typical basic Gambian performers or not performing to their fullest potential. Guinea, Mali Senegal (who don't often use Djembe) do not speak English to have incorporated such riff, definitely Gambians.

  • Yes- definitely local Gambian lads! This was the only song they did that was in English.They said it was a hybrid music. Dowda and his band wanted to get their music out from Kololi and with youtube we had the means to do it.

  • the song is in english?

  • @jPapa2008:

    How long is it since you've been to Senegal?

    Senegal has tens of thousands of Djembe players.

    There are Djembes in every town you visit and almost every group uses them, especially in Mbalax music.

  • @throbule Gainde (by youssou ndour) is the first thing in Senegalese music that has percussions sounding like Djembe. Before that no one else in Senegal incorporated Djembe with Mbalax while Ifang Bondi of the Gambia were doing this style. Do you know how old Ifang's "Atis Atis" or sutukung?

    They are the reason why Bao bab covered sutukung. You'll find thousands of Djembe players (non African in EU, USA and even in Indonesia). My comment is true and the truth should always be told.

  • @jPapa2008:

    Yes yes, whatever - but your original statement saying Senegalese don't often use Djembe was totally wrong. 

  • @throbule I haven't heard any current senegalese mbalax artist using the djembe despite the sudden popularity of the Djembe among non pro people.

    My statement perhaps should have been written "Senegal do not often use the Djembe to have incorporated such riff"

    and sing it in English

    History of Senegal on d percussions:

    * Senegal focused on Timbale Drums

    * and like right now with Djembe, bands there weren't the first to use sabar in guitar bands w full drums kits

    Don't argue.

  • this is good

  • this is fake the music stop and yet the drummers are still beating

  • It's not fake- the recording of our friend Dowda and his band was done independently from the video- so the video is not in synch, but it is the band who are playing!

  • Is this music from Sierra Leone? They are singing in krio.

  • Ohhh! this is super :D

  • i am a Mandinka by tribe but this is definitely not tippical Mandinka traditional music.

  • Que musica tan maravillosa

  • great video

  • makes me want to smoke a spliff!!

  • lol me to

  • Fantastic.

    more like this please.

    I used to work for therecordpool . com but it got lost in a purchase acquisition by the company I work for now, Digital 1 Media. (i work for PCDJ the dj division and the radio division)

    I remember getting turned on to Akon before he blew up, and to a great indy label from Capetown called African Dope, it was cool to hear the tribal african rhythm influence in their stuff.

  • WOOOW SA BUKUR... :P

  • i love african music makes me feel like i'm home thank you for posting it

  • Awesome!!!Amazing!!!

  • African music makes me happy. Love africa

  • i love africa

  • Hey Jembe Cora, can you come to California and perform?

    Please Email me asap.

  • Jembe is the name of the drums, cora (should be spelled Kora) is the African harp one can see on this video, so I doubt very much that this group is called Jembe Cora - the name of the group is The African Heritage Band of West Africa. :)

  • Amazing stuff... there's so much more of beautiful music in this world than just rnb io-op and "blow the candle light take your pants off" music :)

    Mesmerizing

  • AWESOME!I'm from the Gambia and it seems like they are talking to me, it's been 10 years since I was back home.Love from New York Peace brothers.
