Sona Jobarteh - Saya

Sona Jobarteh hails from a long West African tradition of Griots and kora players; her grandfather was the master Griot Amadu Bansang Jobarteh.
With a debut album and a film score already available, Sona is working on tracks for her second album release, Fasiya. She came to Bush House to perform a video session for BBC Network Africa. On this track Sona Jobarteh plays acoustic guitar and is accompanied by Femi Temowo on electric guitar and Robert Fordjour on percussion.

@ohmsasucam You are right, its Bambara... Saya is about passing away. This is a song about the pain of losing a special person in your life. the full english translation to this song is in the sleeve notes to her album "Fasiya".
