JABERWOCKY THANK YOU 

[audiocontraband]

Listen to yourselves the comments on this page should be about the beauty of the music this man creates.... I don't see how it is very religious of you to argue and disturb the peace on this page whatever your belief.

[jdijstelblom]

religion creates differences amoung people, differences creates racism or discrimation, racism or discrimation creates violence --> war. war creates a better economy and prophet for the elite which are religious. Religion is used to make war amoungst people. Better believe in yourself, your own soul !!!

[unbassiste]

@jdijstelblom Differences are the most beautiful things of the world. The racism or discrimation is just the fact to not accept the differences. And it creates violence, war and stupid comments.

[MrSalvaur]

this is mindblowing.

[HadaMelusina]

listen to "Ma Hine Cocore" (Karsh Kale remix), it's beyond description T_T

thumbs up from Brazil.

[napturaldiva904]

Dude are you serious? You must be a troll.

I refuse to believe one can be as ignorant as yourself. Yes vieux is Muslim but he isn't a ignorant Muslim like yourself. :) You have melanin? Wow, last time I checked I have melanin too. LOL I thought I told you my father is darker than you so I'm not sure what your point is....

[napturaldiva904]

Your peoples were raped by Arabs that's why you are Muslim :) trust me that's nothing for me to be jealous of lol some of your somalian people even claim to be Arabs before they claim to be African plus your peoples have been fighting with Ethios for how long now? You didn't think I knew about that huh? I'm done with you so now I'm leaving you to argue alone you aren't worth my time you are just a little confused wanna be Arab Muslim boy :)

[napturaldiva904]

My father is just as dark as you so what's your point? Jealous of you for being Somalian? Wait u aren't serious right? FYI my peoples are Gullah people who are mandinka we are the only African Americans to retain our heritage maybe you should read up on it

[CushiticSomalianMale]

@napturaldiva904 and since you obviously know my kemetian cushitic-Somali east-african background, instead of beeing in denial about it, you also know that most of your fellow african americans look up to fullblooded decendants of kemet = a Somalian like myself, hence a fullblooded darkskinned tall, somalian, unlike you my european christian pope-raped lightskinned half-breed-lookalike little confused girl.. what do u know about Dark-Africa li girl? ask, then u might learn or shut ya mouth, lol

[napturaldiva904]

search for this vid of Ali farka toure on youtube (you wont be dissppointed) type in

"Ali Farka Toure interview" the persons youtube page that its on is named "pusanguy" basically its a vid of Ali Farka Toure and a African American blues musician and Ali Farka is saying how African Americans are still African .....just go watch it ....great to see a African and a "African American" play and sing together one singing in English the other in Bambara Ali liked listening to American blues too

[CushiticSomalianMale]

@napturaldiva904

you're right EXEPT for the fact that Bambara is Not the language of ali farka toure, he can speak it, just like me and you can speak english. but its not his native language, because this fellow black-muslim brother Ali farka toure and viewx farka toure they're bot ethnic Songhai tribesmen hence they speak Songhai... and thats a Nilotic language from the african0sahara, and bambara is a west-african language from the interior of western-africa.. so be more specific, HTPeace.

[napturaldiva904]

@CushiticSomalianMale Ali sang in several languages and Bambara was one of them second of all you must NOT have watched the vid I told everyone to look at of Ali Farka Toure. He would NOT agree with anything coming out of your mouth he himself said that African Americans are African

and before you open your mouth talking about African Americans being forced intol slavery you better do research because Africans were forced by Muslims

yep thats true my "MUSLEM BROTHER" LOL

[nandoelpais]

@napturaldiva904 you're absolutly right!this boy doesnt know what he's talking about!he's just another muslim full of hate!just to remind him that islam is an arabe cult not african!islam is against black people by the way!

[spyked1]

@nandoelpais he;s wrong... but so are u...

if we go by that standard then christianity and judaism are against africans too... Shem, Ham and Kush story? so just all of u shut up about religion and do what u came here to do. Listen to the son of the great Ali Farka Toure (an honor) and enjoy the rest of yo mutherfucking life... it's short and temporary.

[nandoelpais]

@spyked1 no i'm right he's wrong!he started talking about religion when the subject is music!find me a verse in the bible that speaks against black people.go on i'll wait :)

[spyked1]

@nandoelpais aha another fan money mike fan... ok just that fact alone makes u my brother, or sister:)

but heres your verse Genesis 9:20–25,

Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren. And he said: ....and let Canaan be their servant..

now go and wikipedia "Ham" and see who his descendants are... and then reconcile it with your geography. and then go back to enjoying yo mutherfucking life:O

[nigga2006]

@nandoelpais islam in terms of who practices it...does not subject to no one race, you will find muslims from many different races and ethnicities...

[Mahadjeey]

@nandoelpais you r stupid, go back to school. There is Arab christians to you shit.Arabs make only 20% of muslims, If you here a song mensian Jesus you will talk apout chritianeti. So in this song you here the name of Muhammed saw. That s whay he islam in it. But that was rong from him, cas islam is ageinst Music.

[aragonde]

@Mahadjeey

Music is the most beautiful thing in the world and Vieux Farka Touré sings with his soul. If you don't like it .... leave it... to us who understand and love, music, happiness and everybody else on earth.

Peace, Man! Yes, I am a woman!

[aragonde]

@Mahadjeey

You go back to school and learn to spell

Music is the most beautiful thing in the world and Vieux Farka Touré sings with his soul. If you don't like it .... leave it... to us who understand and love, music, happiness and everybody else on earth.

Peace, Man! Yes, I am a woman!

[aragonde]

@Mahadjeey 

[PlagueOnHumanity]

@Mahadjeey I normally don't criticize people for their spelling but is English not your first language or are you just fucking retarded? Mensian? Chritianeti? Rong? Wow.

[napturaldiva904]

@CushiticSomalianMale yes they are songhai but FYI the region in which Ali was from in Mali there are many languages spoken there Peul, Bambara, Dogon, Songoy, Zarma, and Tamascheq You are from Somalia (THE EAST) and its apparent you dont know what you are talking about .....so try again my dear "MUSLIM BROTHER" *eye wink* :)

[CushiticSomalianMale]

@napturaldiva904 and since you obviously know my kemetian cushitic-Somali east-african background, instead of beeing in denial about it, you also know that most of your fellow african americans look up to fullblooded decendants of kemet = a Somalian like myself, hence a fullblooded darkskinned tall, somalian, unlike you my european christian pope-raped lightskinned half-breed-lookalike little confused girl.. what do u know about Dark-Africa li girl? ask, then u might learn or shut ya mouth, lol

[napturaldiva904]

@CushiticSomalianMale and just like African Americans got Christianity from Europeans you got your Muslim religion from Arabs :) so how can you point the finger? hypocrite much? Get over yourself because you are in serious denial

[CushiticSomalianMale]

@napturaldiva904

Lol is that how jelous and envious you are, wel my christian/half-way lightskinned crakker blooded friend Black-muslim yes i am, and so is this Black-muslim brother that you lissening to ali and vieux, besides as black as i am, if i didnt clearly and proudly display my Somalian-cushiticKemet Puntite culture, then you wouldnt even know weather im west-african or ect, so dont come here tryna act all white-christian-girl'ish with me, learn to respect Melanin-blessed men like me

[CushiticSomalianMale]

@napturaldiva904

besides one thing africans got in common weather you're from east-africa like me or west or south or noth, we all can speak several african languages, mostly neighbouring tribes languages, so thats a common thing with us africans, something that you fellow black afro-americans Lost during the slaveships that the white-christian crusaders forced yall into...

HTPeace

[napturaldiva904]

@CushiticSomalianMale OH, and while you are looking up your "Muslim History"

do us all a favor and learn to spell its "whether" NOT "weather" I have plenty of friends from Africa and several still live there and they dont have the type of ignorant mentality you do and I thank God for that too LOL

you are ignorant yet you dont even know it.....how sad

you are a "original" African who doesnt know your own history LOL

[CushiticSomalianMale]

@napturaldiva904

Lol is that how jelous and envious you are, wel my christian/half-way lightskinned crakker blooded friend Black-muslim yes i am, and so is this Black-muslim brother that you lissening to ali and vieux, besides as black as i am, if i didnt clearly and proudly display my Somalian-cushiticKemet Puntite culture, then you wouldnt even know weather im west-african or ect, so dont come here tryna act all white-christian-girl'ish with me, learn to respect Melanin-blessed men like me

[napturaldiva904]

@CushiticSomalianMale  Yes African Americans were slaves but Africans were too and sadly some still are think about Darfur and to make it worse it's happening in their own country (Genocide) how crazy is that? Oh and did u forget that Africa was once ran by British, French, etc and still ran by Arabs in some places how dare you try to act all superior

[napturaldiva904]

Vieux farka toure is from west Africa and the language he is singing in is Bambara. He is the son of the late but great Ali Farka Toure. There is a interview on YouTube of Ali Farka Toure and he says African American blues and African blues are same because we are the same people For those of you that forget African Americans ancestors come from Africa :)

[lin398432]

this song is just got a great tune to it...great stuff!!!!!

[katoucha05]

Vieux est le fils de feu Ali Farka Toure, and yes this is one of the song he sang at FIFA Wold CUP, the langage is Songhai, speaking in Northern of Mali, Timbuctu.

[Ann59588]

OMG!!!

[ashken79]

awesome,just great! i don't understand the language but i love it!!

[zorrror1]

Indeed us black muslims know how to make rhytmic music ???

WTF what about us blacks know how to make music period. What does religion have to do with it. Keep religion out of it and let music be music

[CushiticSomalianMale]

@zorrror1

well i see your point, and you do have a point we are black regardless of weather we are Black-muslims, black-christians and ect, but the undenyable fact in what im saying is that this Black-muslim artist here is exactly that = a BLACK-muslim, muslim merely means = beliver in the One-ness of Allah, and if you even understand what he says in his music, you'd understand that praiseing Allah in a Black-muslim gospel fashion is what many of his songs does, likewise with his Father=Ali.

[encorelui2]

Is this the same song he just performed at the WC 2010 opening concert? GREAT Trcak...basist work just superbe

[pqboi]

@encorelui2 yes it is the same song

[np494609]

he's awesome!! I saw him in concert the other day in DC, it was the best damn money i ever spent on a concert. the sound of his guitar was uplifting.

[specialk3123]

i have absolutely no idea what hes saying...but you know i could care less cause its beautiful.

[CushiticSomalianMale]

great track....

indeed us Black-muslims allthroughout africa, we know how to make rhythmic original Blues Music..

Blues = 1 of Africa's many different styles of music

[Winnas]

@CushiticSomalianMale Blues is American, born in the Mississippi delta.

[CushiticSomalianMale]

@Winnas

well you're entitled to your opinion..

But i belive fact's speak's for itself... the so-called abOriginal's a.k.a Blacks in the missisippi delta that you claim invented blues, inherited their talent from who = Black-african-muslims form countries like my Somalia, and mali and other fellow black-muslim countries, regardless of faith its from Black-Africa = the Blues...

so like i said you're still entitled to your opinion tho, but still fact's and rhythm speak's for itself, Peace

[Winnas]

@CushiticSomalianMale Black people are not called Aboriginals in the USA. I recommend you look at the facts, do a little research & see that blues is indeed some from the American south. It isn't an opinion, it is just the facts. None of them are Muslim. Blacks in America were enslaved in Western Africa, from such current countries as Ghana, Guinea, and Cameroon, not even close to your Somalia and not predominately Muslim countries. It isn't Black-African music, it is Black-American.

[CushiticSomalianMale]

well i said abOriginals as in all black global peoples are called abOriginals hate it or luv it, i could care less..

and again Blues was inherited by african abOriginals in america, since we all know africa is where you guys are from, and last i remember Mali is a Black-muslim majority ways country, so is Senegal and Nigeria, have you even looked at videos from those countries or the presidents =Black-muslims, besides Kunta Kinte from Root's was a Black-muslim before being christian

[Winnas]

@CushiticSomalianMale I don't know why we are arguing about this, this is not even blues music haha. It is also clear we Americans see things much differently than Somalis... I'm not African, I am American. Black is merely the color of my skin. Almost all Americans come from somewhere else. I do not give the credit of American inventions to their ancestral homelands or blood, I give the credit to the individual who created it. You can keep on taking credit for blues as a "black music."

[CushiticSomalianMale]

@Winnas

well we are not arguing, maybe you.. but me personally im not arguing with you.. even if you chose to see it that way.. im just keen to telling the truth.. dont get me wrong Blues are a culture of so-called black ameriKKKans, but you cant give credit to the son, and not the mother of the son, if you even understand what i mean by that, secondly i never said its black music, i said its Black-african-muslim - music, again muslim means = beliver in the One'ness of Allah = God, black=ppl

[ShakurAfrica]

indeed

[pidza21]

@CushiticSomalianMale

What...black christians or black animists can't make good music?

[np494609]

@pidza21 lol no, I think he's just saying black muslims do too, calm down

[urckrecords]

@np494609 props on how you handled that! make the peace, or we're all doomed

[Svank1988]

@CushiticSomalianMale , is better you say we black but Muslim is another thing we are all not fucken muslim ok ,no relation between His Music and Islam , dont mixed the things

[CushiticSomalianMale]

@Svank1988

lol dude i suggest you keep your haleluyah bum licking asss to urself and your own christian jesus christ gospel music ok.. this brother a.k.a this Black muslim brother from the same continent as me = Africa, he is and come from a black-muslim a.k.a MOOR family background, and ofcourse that has alot to do with his music, unlike you christian bumlickers, us muslims including us Black african muslims of Africa, we have to watch what we sing about Lyrically, to set out a good example

[Svank1988]

@CushiticSomalianMale , Fucken asshole you better shut up , i a:m not that bastard licker ass Muslim neither Christian , fucken stupid person like you mixed culture and music into religion , to mixe thing which are not related is really stupid idea , what he did here is to sing , he doesnt sing for fucken islam neither fucken chrisitianity , dman fucken asshole , African embrassed Chrisitianity by Force because of slavery also Muslim people do the same like mauritania ,

[Svank1988]

@CushiticSomalianMale why you fucken asshole mentioned religion here , Chinesse people have their religion , west , indian and jews, but we black always follow the other , fuck black christian and muslim

[Ex925]

@Svank1988 I am white and christian but I could not be closer to you. Fuck all devotees, be them whatever colour and religion. I love this music. Music is pure.

[Svank1988]

@Ex925 i do agreed is pure music but why a person commented above and say ( indeed us black-muslim) is the stupid idea

[Houmpadho]
