Yela?
I'm quite sure the song is called Hamady Boiro and Yele/Yelle is a freedom cry in African and West Indian creoles.

Actually, "Yela" is a traditional form of music sung by women in the north of Senegal - Baaba Maal is of Fulani (Pulaar) origin from an area in Senegal called Podor, and in his interviews, he often mentions his influence from hearing his mother and the other women singing and beating the "Yela" rhythm with their calabashes. The Halpulaar griots of that region originated the musical form before the onset of colonization.
