  • look at our children in Europe- then look at these poor kids in Africa- i pods-x boxes-mp3 players etc-these kids have probably never heard of them- i wish them all well in life

  • My God......the babies the babies!

  • now I know how to say "in the past" in Malian

  • legend!!!!

  • this is so beautiful,hanx for posting

  • look at those children. so well behaved

  • Please anyone, what is the name of this song and on witch album does it appear?

  • The name of the song is "Folon", it is from the album of the same name.

    Sorry my english is not perfect.

  • Is he an african :O? ,but he seems to look so light skinned.

  • he's an african albino. Albinoism is a condition whereby you do not have any melanin (colour). no skin color, no eye color, no hair color...

  • I've seen an albino in Burkina Faso, but this "albino" just looks he has a natural colour. Albino's are red because of the sun in Africa!

  • i give much respect to this man , when i was younger my dad ALL TIME used to listen to this music and i hated it i never used to understand what he would say ( becuase i'm British) but i understand and hes actually really good, & also its amazing how famous he is in africa , becuase theres so much descriniation with albion people, it makes me sick how they treat albino people. but hes gonee farr for himself and i have to say even though i rareley listen to african music, he is a legend.

  • i think the massege is something bad happined before and they wanna forget about it and wanna start new live again.

    btw great song love frm Somalia

  • Woooww, how simple, how profound. And a wish satisfyed because i wanted to know what Keyta was singing. His music spoke to me deep to deep since i've listening to it thanks to a friend.

  • sublime

  • Love my uncle !

  • It is a great Voice and song...there is also an important message in the song!!!

  • what is that message?

  • I don't get it

    .a

  • its about his albinism im guessing... read it on wikipidea

  • I think it's about things from wich people were less aware of in the past or ignored as something that didn't affect them or didn't relate to them. But now there's a lot more acces to for instance, information. So these things are more often brought into the light and can't be ignored, so the responsibility is rising to feel involved and take part in order to make these things better. Generally speaking.

  • Great song. Salif's voice gets better with age. At the Gateshead Sage he sang Folon and I recorded it. Beautiful!

  • perfect

  • i met salif in athens and he told me to play guitar for him...next summer we will play together at shows..........

  • congrats :]

    Must be a wonderful experience for you, both to meet him and play with him! very lucky! XD

  • africa unite,,,thats all i could say,,,we r the survivals of real men race,,whats around is just a fuckin human hybrids,,and they call them selves modern and civilized,,,naturally anti manipulation

  • wath a deep letters, hes awsome

  • jammu africa you are the best

  • i ni baraje Salif!

  • is he a blind albino?

  • not blind.

  • me gustaaa muchooooooo

  • i love you SALIF ! I LOVE YOUR MUSIC !!!!!!

  • Great song. Not related to this video, but can someone who knows post the lyrics to "Mandjou"? I've read online that it's a song of praise to a leader who went on to become a ruthless dictator. The song's still fantastic though. Thanks

  • that is the true,god bless you sr.salif keita.

  • i love this song if there is anyone that speak bambara please write me and teach me i kno some my father actualy have malian in him but im half sierraleonean

  • i ni tilenna. I ka kene wa. N ka kene. Ne kuma Bambara dooni dooni. (I only speak a little Bambara) Indiana University in Bloomington, IN. has courses in Bambara. You can purchase Bambara Beginner and Intermediate books through the Linguistics Department. I have taken three years however i am still very limited. I will go to Bamako Mali, West Africa this December through January and hire a tutor in Bambara for two weeks to communcate one on one with me. Hope this helps.

  • zapiera dech. więcej tego, więcej! folon...
