Hi there,

We're here in San Francisco and really enjoying your playing!! We have a show soon and were thinking of incorporating this song into our set with guitar and piano and three part harmony. Is there any way you could send us the Mandinka lyrics?

This song is called Mini Amba. Among the countless vivid West African legends the story of Mini Amba is one of the most beautiful. Mini Amba, a very caring snake, is said to have swallowed the entire population of a village that was suffering from starvation and drought, setting them free on a fertile, green ground where the sound of the Kora Harp was heard. Let Mini Amba open her mouth and prepare to take you away to a fertile place.
