[djiby020]

love this song like my hole family love it

[andreacristinamedina]

hola amigos, definitivamente Africa enriquecio la cultura peruana con la emigracion de su hermosa gente, sin embargo aqui existe la musica afroperuana, como lando, festejo, alcatraz, y muchos mas, ademas de personajes de ascendencia Africana muy queridos como susana baca, eva ayllon, nicomedes santa cruz, los ballumbrosio, etc, asi que debo decir q este video no es de musica afroperuana.

[imelda4jesus]

women from senegal are very pretty.

[discoverydavid]

I had a much loved tape which I never knew the title of...This sounds like it, but I had it in about 1987/88 and the only album I have found by Baab with this track is 'Mi Yeewnii' and that says it was printed in 2001! I'm confused because my tape sounded exactly like this, his voice, the backing vocals and the unmistakable kora....some tracks were so beautiful they bought tears to the eyes even though I haven't got a clue as to the lyrics...Can anyone help me identify, please?

[emilywaters09]

@discoverydavid Identify what exactly? I speak a small bit of Pulaar, which is what a lot of his stuff is.

[smackedinthejaw]

Whats that tune where he sounds like hes saying "how about the dickle dickle dickle"?

[chernosadou]

awesome....njarama Baba

[carolinemerald77]

BIG HUG from New England !

[sulanjyo]

quelle joie de vivre et d'exister... comme ils sont heureux de se mouvoir dans l'espace et de danser... c'est incroyable...

[azoumumu]

ah kel hommage a la beauté de la femme sénégalaise et africaine en général ! vous étes belles mes soeurs !

[chynadoll987]

This makes me proud to be a senegalese Woman!

[schootzmootz]

fanta means "friend".

had his album, lost it :( :(

[maliekjcksn]

Is that the purpose for the name of the soda?

[VraiDiouf]

@maliekjcksn is this a joke? Fanta is the name of a woman, more precisely Fanta is the name of a Fulani woman. If you understand Fula language, in this song, he's expressing love for the woman Fanta.

[VraiDiouf]

@schootzmootz Fanta does not mean friend. Fanta is a name a common Fulani female name. He is singing his love for the woman Fanta. The way to say "friend" in Fulani language is "gido"

[xjaat]

much better than rap, we should hear this more often

[ytdsgdjgfueyxn537]

@xjaat Yes. African music is beautiful. Rap is.... well ..

But Senegal is special. God bless the kind people of Senegal.

[nubann]

this song was dedicated to me ............thanks babaa i love you .fanta 4 life yep dats my name .n am proud to be a fulani ...x

[goodprovidence]

la voix du peuple pour une boufé de nostalgie il n'y a rien de meilleur

[Islwynpaul]

3 beautiful women, excellent music and Baaba maal, what a video. Thanks for this.

[wohji]

Thanks for posting this! this is my favorite song by Baaba Maal. i was wondering if anyone could help me. I have this album and I really love it. I have other albums by him, but they're not as good-too much instrumentation. With a voice like this, instrumentation is a distraction. I was wondering if anyone could point me to an album that is mostly acoustic. Ideally it would just be him with minimal accompaniment.

Thanks for posting! I was wondering if anyone could help me. I have the album that this song is from and I love it. I have bought other albums by him that I have liked, but not as much- to much production (keyboards etc). I think with a voice like this, excessive instrumentation is just a distraction. I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of other albums that are mostly acoustic. Ideally, i'd find an album that is mostly him, with minimal accompaniment.

[Godpickin]

love it

[timshu]

Mashallah traditional Pular music is the best!

[parsprincess]

yeh its nice mashallah :P

[Molliecat12]

yes sister it is mashaallah!

[Biri1111]

MariBethy...i think he is just praise-singing a woman name Fanta 'cos he said 'Good Afternoon Fanta'.. in the beginning of the song..we have lots of Foulani women with that name...he also mentions another common Fulani name Penda i guess... maybe somebody could assist more 'cos Gambian and Senegalese Fulani dialects differ a little..thanx

[VraiDiouf]

He does mention Penda which is another Fulani name, and Jamma Jengii which means it's evening in Puular.

[Nyame30]

I heard that Fulas aren't black.

[tamsir78]

yes they are!!!!!!!

[ld197708]

He sings in Foula Language, If it was in Woolof I would be able to tell you.I love you Baaba Maal You are the greatest.

[MariBetty324]

[9ways2win]

Balafone is father to the Xylaphone.Xylaphone

Ancient Balafone u heard in the back so

beautiful n sweet w/ Baaba singing have been constructed in the same way for literaly Centuries.Brilliant.

[9ways2win]

mean just us African people,But all humans

belong to Africa That`s why it is our Mother-

-Land we all should be proud of such display

of an ancient thing.Did u hear the Balafone

in the background.

[9ways2win]

sure.I heard a Rollingstone writers descibe his

voice of having a metallic sheen.Best i`ve heard.

[Renagade70]

I'm surpirised & disappointed that not too many comments are in for Baba Maal. He is a great singer. The music is mystical and bright. This beautiful music form the best Senegal has to offer.
