Envy- Ganyo Mada

This song is about envy or jealousy. In Fulani language we say Ganyo Mada. It is never good to be jealous or envious of someone else. Although I am hypocrite sometimes, because I sometimes do get jealous which is not good. Whether it is someone with a better car, better house, or Whether it is a woman you like and someone else likes her and she wants to choose the other man over you, never be jealous because things may be better for you in the long run.

Sung in Mbororo Fulfulde from Niger

Instruments : Guitar, Hand claps, Akayauré (jangling bell on feet), Azakalabo (Calabash), I also believe I hear Touareg Tende drum used, not sure though. It sounds like it. In Niger, Touareg and Fula share a lot of things together.

Thanks VraiDiouf! Highly appreciated! It's true, no good can come from jealousy, it only serves to create emnity and mistrust.
