Lumumba-Maravillas du Mali.mov 

Great Salsa Band from Mali, West Africa. They studied music in Cuba. Each musician is talented in one instrument. They sing in Bambara - main language in Mali. They were sent to Cuba by the first president Modibo Keita who was a visionary. They were sent to Cuba to learn just music. After their studies, they ended up playing salsa (afro-Cuban). They were already all musicians before going to Cuba. I take this moment to thank our first president who was victim of a military coup sponsored by France, the ex-colonizer, a country that did not want his ex-colonies to move away from them. He was later poisoned in prison, because people took to the streets to demand his coming back to power. May his soul rest in peace. Today, Mali is walking away from France again for good. We live in the social media era. Something that didn't exist in the first president's time. He is now very proud in his grave since we finally have some men who are leading us to the right direction for the good of the malian people in particular, and the african people in general. African people are now awake. The change is coming even though it will be tough. We have all the natural resources the world needs. GOD bless Mali and Africa! Amen! Thank you for posting this video!

Right On Maravillas de Mali, honor Lumumba !!!

Lumumba is dead! He is not dead! Lumumba is dead! He is not dead.... Wonderful song. This inspiration comes from the late malian diva, Mogotafai Sacko, who invented this song from scratch when Lumumba was killed in the ex-Zaire, now Democratic Republic of Congo. Las Maravillas du Mali changed it to salsa and added some more flavour. Thank you for posting this video. ♥♥♥

Magnifique ! L'Afrique était encore vivante et fière . Merci Maravillas . Dramane DIAWARA (DD) de la République de Guinée , PDG #SyliCulture

Un véritable gâchis que ce talentueux groupe n'ait pas une seconde chance après le coup d'état de 1968. Ce son est sublime

This tune is amazing! Take the charanga format and turn it into something singular and unique,

Pourquoi ne pas oser mettre en place une nouvelle las maravillas de Mali avec cette nouvelle génération...
