When the world finally starts paying attention to African culture and art, it will be very, very surprised! The second half of the 21st century belongs to Africa!
I had tickets for Tal Mahal playing Music Hall, Portsmouth NH couple Friday nights ago. We got to our seats and so many instruments on stage. I had worked a long week, hadn’t bothered to read the playbill, figured didn’t need to. I mean Taj and his crew were playing, what else to know. Well I stand joyfully corrected. Sonja and sextet, and her son were the “warmup” group. That music hall is like 125 years young, and the music that filled the space that night was shear beauty. Let me close with Taj asked Sonja to come close the evening. Everyone there was blessed. I’m now so much wiser, and a Sonja fan. What music!
Wow, fantastic isn’t a strong enough word for this album. What a wonderful, immersive experience. I do not understand a single word, but I don’t have to. The harmonies, the solo performances. Absolutely breathtaking ☮️♥️🎶🎧
Feeling the same here Dustbuny and I’m only on the 3rd track… we all definitely need more harmony so we can continue having our breath taken away this way in our daily solo performances! 🌍🪩
Yesssss! Finally found the entire album! Listening to this as I go about my day, thinking of my beloved. I may not understand the words she is saying, but my soul innerstands every single note she utters, every instrument played and every rhythm. 💚
Sona is warm, fresh breeze from across the Atlantic. She restores the joy of music and kanu to Americans who are fortunate enough to hear her authentically soulful sound and who need relief from the narcissism that dominates our popular music. I know but few Mandinkan phrases and words, but I feel the stories she tells without understanding most of the lyrics. She is great but humble in her transcendent brilliance.
Pour avoir été à son concert en décembre 2023 à l'île de la Réunion juste waouh sa musique me transporte et soulage mes maux Gratitute❤gratitude❤gratitude à toi Sona

Le jour où je l'ai découvert c'était pour moi l'une des plus belle musique que j'entendais. Cette voix, cette douceur avec les instruments faisaient un tout et me transportait. J'adore! ❤❤
Eu amo ouvir Sona, a sua voz me transmite uma paz interior. Eu amo essa mulher, por tudo que ela representa para o seu povo e para todos as pessoas negras do mundo inteiro. Viva Sona Joubarthe
Regreso a mis tiempos de juventud, buscando estos ritmos africanos, saludos a todos los que escriben y leen los mensajes. En . Festival de la independencia de México, en 2010, el bicentenario invitanos a un cantante de Mali, que grata experiencia, a donde quiers que estés amigo Abdulay un fuere abrazo. Cuando fuimos por él tardó.mucho en salir porque realizó un ritual antes de salir, no lo pueden tocar las mujeres ni a el ni a sus instrumentos a éstos nadie mas que el. Muy respetuosos de su cultura, creencias y tradiciones. Al público le fascinó bailamos, gracias Dios.
❤🙏 BIJOU, trésor vocal et musical. Énorme coup de cœur, même si je ne comprends pas les paroles. Sublimes mélodies...et j'imagine...sublimes textes.. Chaque morceau et le tout me touche en plein cœur : magie de la voix et de la musique, ce langage universel merveilleux. Bravo. Merci pour ce voyage musical délicieux.❤🙏
Magnifica Música fuera de serie.....Estupendo todo el Album......Gracias SONA....Seria grandioso tenerte otra vez en México, y específicamente en Cancun, en Algún Festival...Requerimos un evento con Verdadera Musica. que nos saque de lo mismo
Gratidão ao canal por nós conectar através do amor ❤ incondicional a todas as vozes de nosso mundo carente de amor e conecçao além dos limites da indiferença em relação aos oprimidos 😢
I am sitting in train, going back home, listenig to this masterpiece closed my eyes and translating the words I do not understand to my own stories...it is a pure plesure... Is there anybody here who can translate some song lyrics to english, so that I can compare my stories to the origin ones? Thanks❤
Music from out of this world. Kafaroo is my favourite so far. Absolutly exquisite sounds coming from that track. Thank you so much for producing music that uplifts the soul.
First time I heard her I was on a sailboat of the coast of Barcelona. Was a magical moment I'll never forget. Took me awhile to find out who she was but now that I have she is one of my go to's for relaxing.
Dance love into your hips, sister dance with love. Sow the world a footstep that ploughs the nation for fruitful harvest that feeds our right to live. Give us our home. Mystical dance, benders your soul Psbreathe
Thank you for sharing this music. I just love Sona, and her backing group, especially the percussionist. Her voice and music just absolutely moves me 🎵👌👏🙏🌟🌹
Please come to Oakland, California. Would love to see Sona live. Discovered her a few years ago and been enraptured with her sounds ever since. Thank you for sharing your gift!! Reading about her life’s work astounds me even more. 🙏🏽☺️
