I saw this live a couple days ago (at least as I'm writing this comment).

Amazing concert. Totally awesome.

If you like this and you're new to it, be sure to check out Oliver Mtukudzi and Afel Bocoum, too.

[wrafth]

I had the chance to meet him and talk to him

Pretty chill guy

[ecotahoe]

There was a girl that i love. We were travelers together near home. One day we heard Wassiye and it became a favorite. I remember her now how we sat then by the sea. Each ray of the sun in each drop in each wave neverending.

[MsNaturewoman]

The tunes of mother earth. This guy is fabulous.

[sunra3000]

mali got the blues HARD baby! much love

[Sunkan86]

I don't know what it i swith this guy's music but this song gets to me all the time, I always get a tear falling down my face as I hear it.

Meaning of the song from CD Booklet: (For all the happy fathers, you have just had a daughter who looks very much like your wife. You are blessed now with two wives at home)

[KingKrunkmungas]

[yuffie24neddea24]

Beyong the high quality, the rythm and the technic, the face of the musicians who enjoy the moment says a lot about the purity of this music !

[MegaNinky]

@Pashatube I am fairly certain that Bamada will be accompanying Habib Koite on this NA tour. There are the same guys featured in this video.

[MegaNinky]

saw Haibib Koite and Bamada at Revival in Toronto last night. What a great show! These guys are super stars in the truest sense!

[Pashatube]

@MegaNinky Going to see them in San fran next week. Thanks for the review.

Do you know if they have the same members as on this video playing on this tour?

[jamespunani]

search william cooper, for all you beautiful people

[Redveg993]

I had another version of this song among my 'favourites' before it was taken off. Someone there commented that the song is the singer's congratulation to his wife after the birth of a daughter. "who looks just like you".

By the way, this version is a thousand times better than that one! I particularly like the instrumental section at the end; this was not a feature of the version I had.

[RobertJohansen1985]

I love this guys music man!!! its awesome...

[rossounico]

I would like to know the meaning of this song , thank you to those who'll answer to me.

[fatylamalienne]

je l'aime!!!

[onamemmet]

everybody in this band is lefthanded?

[jablka]

Yes especially the guitarists.

[Thommie86]

For those of you having a hard time with their homework, try and do it to the music of habib here. It will work!!

[ixtaxiomara]

danelmurua que lindo eres, me hiciste sonsreir. Francamente me has puesto a pensar. Vivo en L A y en mi casa mucho es de mi cultura. Mi vestimenta lleva vestigios de la cultura indigena pero cien por ciento, no. Tu comentario fue al punto y no agresivo te lo agradesco.

[BigBrotherIsHere01]

I heard him for the first time on BBC worlds music program 'the beat' I inmedoatly ordered one of his albums. Its greqt mmusic indeed!

Grtz

[Tezman82]

Awsome...glad I ran it this vid. Thanx for the post.

[tdottchickk]

[veebee15]

This guy is fantabulous. Love his music. For those who like this song, try his 'Din Din Wo' and 'I Ka Barra'.

[takeoverprojekt]

Hehe, for those of us who have recent versions of Windows Media Player, we already have it. :D

His music is really good, kind of relaxing, kind of danceable, nothing like it really. Love it!

[PreciousD21]

can someone tell me what this song is about?

[fezzappa]

peace ,.love and understanding-...just a guess,but it works for me..

[paradoxsixnine]

from what i read on this cd (putumayo) it is about him comparing how his daughter (wassiye?) was beautiful like her mother. it was years ago when i read the liner notes, though.

[fresusjeak1]

He is incredible live!!!

[ixtaxiomara]

Que musica tan hermosa que agradecida estoy que ellos usan la vetimenta de su cultura.

[danelmurua]

mi querida ixtaxiomara mucho me temo queeres la que no usa la vestimenta de tu cultura !??? o me equivoco ???? :)))

[KeepsItLive415]

[dscjnky]

Saw Habib on April 2, 2009 at Humboldt State. Awesome!!! He didn't play Wasiye... but they ripped anyway. The ending was amazing... He just started improvising and singing for the happy and healthy life for the baby in this pregnant hippie ladies belly who had rushed the stage and started dancing with them.

I saw Habib April 10, 2009 at the Strand Theatre in Rockland ME. IT as the best show I've seen in Maine in 15 years.

In fact, this was one of the best shows and performances I've seen in 40+ years.

Outstanding in every way! It was more than a co
