Can anyone please tell me what the word NAMU means in this song?

Peut-on s'il vous plaît me dire ce que signifie le mot NAMU dans cette chanson?

Thank you - Merci.

@throbule

hi : Namu is an affermative expression to confirm that what is being said is the truth.

[throbule]

@tpafrica:

Thank you for responding - Namu is also used in Buddhism (it is a Sanskrit word meaning devotion or fusion).

What language is it here in the video - Bambara?

Thanks a lot.

[tpafrica]

@throbule

yes is Bambara

Yo yo yo. Diabate puissanci! Beautiful and powerful story told by Amara, continued by my favourite singer Mamadi and concluded by West-Africa's golden voice Kassemady.

@tpafrica no it's malinké (maninkakan). Very close to bambara though, but the accent is different.
