I'm a gullah geechee jamaican descent in U.S.A and ultimately a Mandinka descent/West Afrikan descent and I've come back to dis song so many times since I've found it, shed tears and all (many times). My grandfatha played blues and my fatha and uncle love da blues. I make music myself (Hip Hop). We descend from deez people, Djeliw. dis is da root of blues. da tings he sings about here resonate even here. da Earth hasn't changed but da people of today have. (many of our people are forgetting our culture & original ways of living) and even still, so many tings have remained da same. (especially within our culture, it jus looks a lil different) to any Afrikan diaspora descendant reading dis, its for a reason. our ancestas are wakin up within us and calling us back home. if you found dis video & dis comment, its bcuz you was guided here. you have a culture & home in Afrika, you have noble and honorable traditions. seek and embrace dem. one love and Afrikan liberation for all people wanting & willing to be free. ❤🖤💚
I am from brazil we have the samba de bamba its origin is bambara although it is talking about nonsense now in the 90's it spoke of lovin for the morenas morenas is how call black women it is moorish name because we descend from the bambara moorish people.
The roots of blues, jazz, funk and pop music are from Mali.From one region of the country to another region you will find different styles. Malian music is richer. One day a Jamaican woman whose husband is from Mali was having her hair braided by my wife, and I played a video of a diva from Mali, my country, she was amazed. She said this sounds like reggae music. The song is a traditional Malian song and not modernized at all. We used to live in Washington DC at that time. It was in 1998. Thank you guys! We can see how the world is small.❤❤❤
She said it sounds like reggae bc reggae is based on African-American blues. Dancehall parties used to be called 'blues parties' in the 1940s. Modern Jamaican music is heavily founded in African-American music. Sir Cox Dodd, Bob Marley, Count Matchukie & others were all inspired by Blk American radio stations they picked up in Jamaica. Pre 1940s Jamaican music sounded nothing like it does today. And you are correct African-American music is rooted in sahalian music which is why we're so heavy on string instruments vs other blk cultures in the Americas that are heavy on the drums. Blk Americans came from the sahel and we retained so much of our ancestral musical culture ❤
@Tshabalala-em3wj i got the receipts to prove it baby. Don't make me school you on your own culture chile. You'll be embarrassed. Hell google Sir Coxanne Dodd yourself if you don't believe me.
@@Gigi-fp8pdur actually stupid . If you were smart you’d know guitars are modern day version of west African ngoni which is one of the oldest string instruments . And we’ve always made music like this but ofc we don’t speak English so we don’t call the genre jazz . Learn YOUR history
From Eritrea. Love west African music. There is just something about it that soothes the soul. I was introduced to Malian music by listening to Habib Koite. One love from one African to another !
They must have some bantu thing going on in their blood because dunia is in Kiswahili back home...I love African music...it resonates everwhere with many other Africans...so lovely my people...so lovely...God bless you my people! God bless you! ☺
I’m a “senior” American Jewish woman who has always listened to and appreciated music from all around the world. This traditional African stuff is so easy and natural to hear. We don’t need to understand the words… it’s just Great Music! Thanks for this video. 🎶🌍🌎🌏🎶
@@thornil2231you can be both. Judaism is a religion and culture. People can be from Jewish descendants. It is not a country. Give you 2 examples: If she was a Christian, she would be a American christian woman. And if she lived in Israel, she would/ could identify as a Israeli Jewish woman. So being Jewish is not a country.
I'm Hungarian. Duna is what we called the river Danube. This song (melody, rhythm) resembles to a Hungarian folk song: "A bolhàsi kertek alatt". Amazing, beautiful❤❤❤
Love from Libya.. lots of immigrants from Mali cross Libya and they are treated in the worst ways, I feel ashamed of my people's attitude and actions towards immigrants, our brothers and sisters. One day, beauty, love and our shared humanity will prevail! RIP Ali
Suomi, marsalkka Mannerheimin maa, jolle annettiin oppitunti vastustamisesta koko maailmalle pelastamalla maansa Neuvostoliiton hyökkäykseltä ja Suomen ansiosta ihmiskunta saattoi tietää, että valta oleminen ei ole synonyymi vähemmän voimakkaiden mielissä vaeltamisen kanssa.
I feel a deep deep connection to West African music. I just don't know how to really explain it. It's so spiritual. That's the power of music. Love from Cameroon 🇨🇲
In Africa we use music to achieve different reasons, sometimes it is for enjoyment, sadness or to heal our souls from the melancholy mood, it is gift bestowed to us by our ancestors
@@lilmee7469 before the god of the Semites and even the Arabs, we had our own gods. What the missionaries brought to Africa was barbarism and slavery. Our ancestors were killed, raped, oppressed and enslaved in their own lands. No loving god would allow that. He is false.
@@usagi1641 I can't sin against something that doesn't even exist to begin with let alone believe in it. It's a wishful utopia borrowed from the Zoroastrian religion from when the Israelites were captives in Babylonia.
This music soothes a good ole country boy from Alabama like me. They sound like a couple of dudes you would catch playing juke joint blues in the Mississippi Delta on a sunny hot lazy day. Nice.

RIP Ali Farka Touré. A jamais dans mon coeur depuis la première fois que je vous ai écouté, vers 1993, en concert à Ouagadougou. Un des plus grands chocs musical de ma vie. Vous avez bouclé la boucle : la fusion parfaite du blues qui venait d’Afrique avec l’Afrique qui avait enfanté le blues. Votre musique me donne la nostalgie d’un pays que je n’ai jamais connu, et on dit de la nostalgie que c’est la tristesse d’avoir été heureux.
I remember I was listening to Savane walking alone at night in the middle of nowhere in Tenerife desert and that was one of the most beautiful moments for the last few years: just me, darkness, calm air and his majesty Ali Farka Toure. Greetings from Russia!
I love so much Malian music not because I'm Malian but it's the best in Africa. Ali Farka Touré, Oumou Sangare, Toumany Diabaté, Salif Keita, Amadou et Mariam, Habib Koïta..... Each region of the country has its own style of music and culture. It is diversity that makes the source of musical inspiration inexhaustible
@@gerrard6107 I couldn’t agree more, W African Music changed me; there is a Xhosa saying ‘people become people through other people’ and I became a person when i heard this music: Fatala stopped me in my tracks; Oumou Sangaré showed me how to clean the altar; Ali Farka Touré mesmerized us in Vancouver and changed music for me; Baaba Maal: what can I possibly say about Baaba Maal? He brought it to life!; Fatoumata Diawara is wonderful, and Amadou and Mariam are as good as it can ever be; I thank God for them every day all every day.
When we have listen Manemosh dibo first it was the best of any one music for us since to day we are always listen any Ethiopian song mosly amahra Tigray
Listening to these extraordinary musicians you can understand what really means African American Music...Here you can hear where blues, folk and the soul of an entire country came from. Love from Italy ..
No matter when you come from Peter Tosh once said,,,He was absolutely right. I come from the Northside of Italy and I was born on an ancient Gyptian tribe from North India,,,I can say this music can clean my soul and make me feel more relaxed and full of good vibes ,, Thanks Mama Africa ,Sorry for all the people who don't understand and disrespect the Mother land
Hahahaha. Of course, this man is coolness himself in the most beautiful, tranquil and positive way. Love each and every sound, peace of mind and strength that his music has been giving to me over more than one decade
thanks for making a difference between music from mali and music from "example" congo bcz ppl always say " i love african music" like it was one homogenic group of people with the same culture sory english
I'm from the South of the same motherland. I absolutely love the melodies from Mali. They touch my spirit. I feel like I'm communing with the ancestors when I listen to these songs
Lovely music, peaceful setting. Two men sitting together playing without ego, actually listening to the notes and feeling the rhythm. Thank you from America.
I was so lucky to see Ali Farka Toure at WOMAD....he played his beautiful music out on the lawn in afternoon Sun to an audience of about twenty people...brilliant !
S.A wow kasimir seems a pretty interesting region I think you guys have suffered in the same way as my country... Good luck and best wishes from Mexico
True ... the overall vibe is very reggae-esque. The flow, the wave you ride when listening. it's a continuity within the notes, around the spaces, the people. #Garvey #Tosh
From Libya, all respect and love for this wonderful art, although I do not understand the language, but the feeling of art is present through the strings of the guitar, which is as if it sends teddy bears touching the heart instantly. Ali Farke Toure, Aboubaker Traoré Thank you for the happy moments you gave to your audience, and I am one of your fans, but from a country other than yours. Long live Africa with its men and its very deep art. From Libya, greetings to everyone who passed by here and knew the true art 🤝.
2 symbols of malian music and african music, So simple, humble in their behaviour, I do not understand the lyrics but i love what do they are doing, Thanks for sharing Friendly
Who's here in 2021. I have been listening to this through lockdown. I don't understand a word but it just makes me calm and feel at peace with the lot of horrible things currently going on on this dear old GLOBE of ours.
when i was young i was listening to them. it was very difficult to hear. that song was showing my soul very poor. so i was afraid of be with them in this sound. after 5 kids born from my womb my soul started grow. now i can feel them with full joy. thank you for reading. this is not my account.
I don't understand what you speak but I do when u sing it through your beautiful songs you made us to feel united as a man from every corner of the world thanks From Ethiopia 🇪🇹
Yaisn AdmaAnd you can to be it! I would like to be proud to be French, currently, like you are be proud to be African. Peace be upon you and your loved ones. We are brothers.
@@danialkaan Why even be period of being a human? Did i earn my humanity? I'm not proud about a damn thing but my own personal qualities and achievements.
Much love my brothers from California I’ve no clue on the lyrics but I love it. I’ll drop my research on the meaning but god bless both of you with long and healthy lives. Thanks for sharing.
I love how he lights up his cigarette at the beginning...that air of nonchalance..such people transcend the musical scale beyond the mechanics and theory and take it to sublime levels.
A Farka Touré. De Nianfunke à Mopti.Je l'avais présenté aux touristes que j'accompagnais. Du coup après le dîner au Kanaga de Mopti ses casettes ont été achetées et signées par lui. Vive le Mali pour le tourisme de civilisations.

Far away from that. This is what I found from the Reddit about the song Duna Ma Yelema: Duna ma yelema, bi ma de yelema la the world has not changed, it is the people of today have changed Ni kokè mousso mi yé , o bi maflé nalomayé if you do something for a woman, she thinks you're an idiot Ni kokè tié ba mi yé , o bi maflé fiyentoyé if you do something for a man, he thinks you're blind oh Na , Duna ma yelema, bi ma de yelema la .... oh mother , ...
