Baba Maal Chante Tara

[doumga1]

Rien de meilleur!

[dendirado]

Peuples du continent noir!

Hommes du Sahel et de la forêt, Hommes de la savane et du grand désert, Africain, mon frère, Wallahi mon sang, Ecoute ta musique. Elle est la voix de ton Dieu et celle de tes ancêtres

Quand le soir, au cours de (nos veillées ?) Nos griots, après un moment de profond recueillement, jouent sur leur guitare l'air d'un "Tara".

voilà comme j'avais vu en 1989 Le texte écrit par un oncle sur une cassette faite pour les amateurs et amis intimes de Baaba qu'ils étaient

[PATRICELUMUMBAS]

okkkkkkkkkkkk

[50fadel]

he's playin' the griot role, telling the story of el hadj omar tall a fulani leader who fought the french colonial army in the west africa. what an epic story. greatest baaba thank you, now african-american will know that there was a lot of black african hereos who fought colonialist in africa.

[rasamalai108]

@50fadel Thank you!!!! I always wonder what he's saying! I'd really really love the original lyrics to Mariama (from Baayo album) if you happen to know them, I've only been able to find a translation of them 10 years ago.

[CushiticSomalianMale]

@50fadel i agree.....

[MrSergeantPepper]

Dans le soir, beaucoup de (nos veillées ?)

Nous griots, après un moment de profond recueillement, jouent (sic) sur la guitare l'air d'un "Tara".

[kiszeski7]

@MrSergeantPepper "au cours de nos veillées"

(le "sic" est péjoratif, c'est dommage... il suffit de remplacer "jouent" par "jouons")Merci pour la transcription de ce magnifique chant. Amitiés.

Very great song! Une des plus belles chansons du repertoire Puular. Baba Maal ka ngari mawndi!

[ould17]

انت حقا امير الطرب الافريقي الاصيل النابع عن اصالة وعراقة شعوب منطقة الساحل الافريقية. كلما استمعت الي عزفك علي العود اوا ستمع الي كلماتك والتي وللاسف لاافهمها ينتابني احساس ورهافة في مشاعر اعجز عن التعبير عنه. فعلا فنان له صوة ينبع من مشاعر صادقة وعن اصالة فذة

[mtouzi]

[VraiDiouf]

[johnisanidiot]

If you're going to speak unkindly regarding religion, then at least use proper grammar and spelling.

[VraiDiouf]

Real Traditional Sahelian music. Jaraama Fouta Tooro Leydi.

[VraiDiouf]

Alla yara yonki.

[DietseGeus]

I've just discovered this music today... it's such fascinating, I've always liked African music like Fela Kuti... but this music reminds me of things.

It can't be better.

[Biri1111]

benigcoca..please don't think like that...maybe you feel this music 'cos it's your real culture...too many unsolved mysteries...who knows your ancestors could have been from Futa Torro...this is your culture too, my kinfolk...don't feel alienated...we all in this together...

[Biri1111]

It depends on your tastes.

[Renagade70]

I love Babaa Maal. I had the honour to see him play in Central Park Summerstage in 95. His vocals are huanting and soulful. The music is mystical and has a touch of magic in it.I have been keeping up with his music over the years since my college days.

[maryam2009]

beautiful

[odairfui]

Sénégal... a mistic place

mahy sides, many ways.

[fortlook]

Belle chanson

[mojojerm]

Can anyone tell me what the small stringed instrument is? so beautiful

[maryam2009]

well it's called somthing

[aichaabbo]

it s an west african instrument it s called ngoni (in bambara from mali)

[mojojerm]

thank you

[VraiDiouf]

Since Baaba Maal is Fulani, we call it a different word. The Bambara call it n'goni. We call it Hoddu in Fulani.

[coyoluo]

Africa! only Africa, Africa is Deep, Africa is where real people live, Only Africa, It's where the human soul came from, Thank you For staying true, God bless you.

[scientgollygee]

I'M NOT FROM AFRICA BUT I'M SURE THAT I'M REAL

TOO. I HOPE SO! I WOULDN'T BE WRITING THIS IF I WASN'T REAL!

Great Music.

[lcpbeto]

Gracias

[moussa252]

This song was interpreted in pulaar and french,even though I can not explin clearly what it says in pulaar ,I know the singer praises,and express the quality,bravery and greatness of El hadji Omar,you can still go to yahoo and search for some sites that can teach you about that great resistant.Thank's

[totalstation]

Athentic, rich, time capsule music.

Thank you Baaba for being my connection to my culture.

[dioufmoussa]

beautiful song,as a Senegalese,I believe that El hadji Omar is the fiercest resistant throughout all west Africa,I might be wrong but I think so.

[lcpbeto]

Hello, Im Mexican but i do often study about african continent and the movements in each country. Tell me about El Hadji Omar

Saludos Amigo

[tchoumie]

As a direct descendant of El Hadj Oumar Tall, words cannot express how proud I am. Vive le Poular!!!!

[VraiDiouf]

You're a desecendant of El Hadj Oumar Tall?

[benigcoca]

i´m so jealous of this culture

as a slave descendant i find this very authentic.

It´s what we slave descendants were robbed off.

[Thequeenofkush]

Beniqcoca, sorry for what history has done to our brothers and sisters, but take heart, wherever you are in the world, the blood and dna you carry, will never be taken away from you. You feel that way because its part of who you are. Thank God you are blessed to have realised that. We have a beautiful culture and we want every brother and sister to share in that. May God give bless and give you peace in your heart.
