Ali Farka Toure with Ry Cooder - Soukora 

I used this song as jingle of a world tracks radio program I was hosting at a local FM radio in my city in Bamenda Cameroon in the mid year 2000,s..

Everything of African defines me, the culture the music and everything. Sitting and eating my breakfast in this hustle world but find peace in this Malian music. Proud to be African . Love from Ethiopia 🇪🇹

The guy was big! Real! Rooted! He left too soon but gatified us with a goldmine of music. RIP Aly. Seydi Touré

I read on another post of this song here is that a man played this for his son who was in the womb still and when the baby was born and heard the song he stopped crying! It made my heart swell. Ali Farka Toure was gifted and he even thought so hahaha blessings my man.

Ali Farka Touré restera toujours gravé dans nos cœurs et mémoires. Soukora est une magnifique chanson chantée à la gloire de l'amour.

This was palying constantly in my house when I grew up. Just rediscovered it. The smile that came on my face as I was driving and it popped up on my shuffle was indescribable.

أفريقيا بلد الثقافة والحضارات شكرا كثير على الأبداع

I love Mali through the legend Ali Farka. All respect from country of ours 🇸🇩 to beloved people of 🇲🇱.

Overall, He is saying "Honey, it's night...My beloved wife, it's night, join me...Loving you is what i love most..."

Love this. So mellow and lovely.

Amazing song👍🏼.. Love from India 🇮🇳

This song should be inducted into the blues hall of fame ..

The guitar work is mesmerising and the melody is addictive!! Love from Australia

A evening or night time love song played by a husband to his wife...a gentle playful and seductive melody to melt the heart of any woman.

I really fall in love with this singer even if I don't know his language!

The meaning of this song: It all about love very romantic song. My love (diarabi ) it is night (soukoura). I love you I love the night. Please wait for me. I like the caddle of the night. I like the peace of the night....etc

love this song even though i have no idea what he is talking about . The melody is just so smooth. Love my African music..

Collaborations like these are golden.

SIMPLE ET MAGNIFIQUE.......

Love all the way from Ghana. 2019.
