My dad used to work as a foreign aid worker, so i spend some awesome childhood and teen years in bamako, mali from 1999 to 2003. I totally admire the firendly and positive attitude of malians despite living under difficult circumstances.
This vid and the music is great. Brought back sooo many memories! 5 Stars :)
There was a report by an organization of city mayors that said Bamako is the fastest growing city in Africa and the 6th fastest growing city in the world! I can't recall the link, but you will able to find it in google city mayors.Thanks for the video anyway!
I have 6 or 7 CDs of music from Mali and find myself listening to this one most often. While I love them all --- the combination of musicians: Ali Farka Toure and Ry Cooder is unbeatable. Track #1 "Bonde" sung in Peul begins with a fantastic guitar introduction by Ali Farka Toure. Each note is drawn out just right to hook the emotions.
I too was in Bamako, just returned a few days ago, and also humbled me. Great, freindly people, just under educated,no medical resources. Its appaulling to me to see how there goverment has failed them.
Thank you for your fidelity full clip.I ve been on Bamako last year and I was deeply touched by african reality.Hope I will be albe to help them one day.First step education and health.But without a open mind political class will not be possible.A romanian friend.
Very cool and beautiful video!
