Daouda Sangaré & Alou Fané - Keleya

The biggest 'hit' by the pioneers of kamalen n'goni music from Mali: Daouda 'Flani' Sangaré and Alou Fané. Flani in the role of jealous 'co-wife', and Alou Fané on kamalen n'goni. With a small ensemble featuring Djourou Diallo on flute. The video was recorded in 1983 by Malian television.
Unfortunately the sound is rather bad after 1'19.....

is thereanother video with another male singer doing the same song, or the same kind of song ? because I was in Ségou last january and I was with my friend Ablo and we saw a video of whom, he told me, was his father, the man I'm talking about in the precedent post....

@souldescarga This was more or less the signature song of Flani and Alou. So if anyone has 'borrowed' it, they are citing from Flani and Alou's work.

The singer lives in Ségou, he used to sing with the Super Biton during the seventies, he's the father of Ablo Diarra, the lead singer of Les Balanzans de Ségou. You can hear them in the dancings of Ségou nowdays....

@souldescarga The singer is in fact the late Daouda 'Flani' Sangaré. He never lived in Ségou and is in fact from the village of Karankasso, in the Ganadougou region near the town of Sikasso.

He was perhaps best known as the lead singer of the Super Djata Band, but also (as Alou Fané, who plays the kamalen n'goni in this video) was a member of the Ballet National, where he was both a dancer and a singer.

who is the singer?

[leftysergeant]

The moves and that voice have a really strong dramatic effect that help drive the message home. Great performance even if the video seems lacking in technical aspects.
