I was searching for a video to the song "Toroya" by Issa Bagayogo but couldn't find any. Therefore I sat down and after a complete night of fighting with Windows Movie Maker and a poor laptop I managed to get this together for all of you out there who like his music. Nothing special, just nice pictures of Africa.
I often go home by bike in the night after being in town and lately I've been putting on this song a lot while doing so. It's almost magic how the darkness around you can change just due to this song and how calm and relaxed one can feel. A big thanks goes out to you Issa for making all this beautiful music. When you're in my town show me up for a drink or two. My treat! ;)
If you like this song and/or want to support Issa go to his website which I added at the end of the video.
I finally stumbled over the lyrics and the meaning of Toroya. Toroya apparently means "suffering" in the Malian language and following is the English translation of the song itself.
Toroya - Suffering
You only get out what you put in,
only work frees a person,
So, it is worth paying tribute,
to Malian artists,
to Malian youths,
to Malian women,
to Malian men who strive to improve their living condition
You only get out what you put in,
Work takes away from us vice, need and worries
You only get out what you put in,
let's pay tribute,
to the youths of Wassoulou,
to the youths of Karadougou,
to the youths of Briko,
to the youths of Ganadougou
You only get out what you put in,
welcome Moussa Koné,
welcome my charming guitarist Boua,
welcome Sidibé Mamou,
welcome Issa from Korin
A restless worker is always rewarded,
you only get out what you put in,
the sun shines again after the rain

Part of this song talks about the suffering and hardships of women, I don't know exactly the whole song because Bambara/Mandé language isn't my first language.

Thanks Alice. Those are kind words. :-) I will probably be getting some more time in the near future so I can finally put up another song I wanted to upload for several years now, so be on the lookout for more nice music as this one.
