**ENGLISH LYRICS**
Kokoro (Ancestral Heritage)
Why are we not proud of who we are? We are black Africans, descendants of Sunjata Keita, the emperor of the Mandé people. We have our own culture and civilization, which we must be proud of. Instead, we want to look like Westerners, Chinese, Asians, and Arabs by bleaching our skin, selling off our land and resources, and adopting their fashions. As a result, we are lost and our traditions escape us. So who will come to defend our African dignity in our place?
Let’s not turn our back on our traditions
Let’s embrace them, be proud of them
Let’s not abandon our traditions
We need to welcome them, like a miracle
Let’s not turn our back on them
They want to destroy our traditional values
Because we are Africans
We have lost all our cultural references
Because they see us as slaves
Our ancestors have abandoned us
They want to kill our traditions
Because we are Africans
Our human warmth is disappearing
I bow before our ancestral traditions, mother
I pray to the spirits of our ancestors
I bow before our ancestral traditions
Why are we not proud of who we are?
We try to look like Europeans, by bleaching our skin
We try to look like the Chinese and sell off our resources to them
We think that being Muslim means to cover ourselves from top to toe
We want to look like Indians by applying their bindi to our forehead
Who will carry on Sunjata’s heritage?
I, Diawara Fanta proudly stand up and vow to carry on the ancestral heritage
Who will build Africa for us? Who will live the African life in our stead?
We have lost all our cultural references to western culture
If we do not respect ourselves, no one will ever respect us
Why are we not proud of who we are?
"Kokòrò" meaning "tradition" 'heritage" or "culture." The message is so powerful. "We want to look like the Europeans, the Chinese, the Arabs, the Indians, etc. Who is going to love us? Who is going to perpetuate our culture?" Good question for all African artists who imitate other people instead of sharing their culture with the world.
And, KOKORO means "heart/soul" in Japanese.
Soul pleasing
Salute the African rich heritage
Is that in Swahili? Greetings from Dominican republic my ancestors came from Africa for that reason I would like to know more about African culture.
@@alexanderjimenez2781 It is not Swahili, which is spoken in Eastern Africa (Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, etc.) It's Bamanan or Jula, a key language of the Mandingo people in West Africa. In the movie series "ROOTS", a slave said "misi muso" meaning "cow" ( literally "female bovine"). That was Mandingo or Bamanan which Europeans call Bambara. You can see it as a language or a dialect. The distinction is often very hard to make with African tongues which exceed 2000 in number.
I am a teacher of English in the United States. I designed a poster for my classroom of Fatoumata Diawara with the words "Let's show the world our culture." My students come from Africa, Nepal, and Puerto Rico. I want them to be proud of who they are. My student from Congo pointed to the poster the other day and said "Who is this?" She had never heard of Fatoumata. I wish there was a children's book about her to help inspire students to be proud of their heritage.
Excellent what you did as a teacher. Fatoumata Diawara is a pure form of representing Africa through music and songs that are so melodious ❤🙏🌱😎🪁🪂🙏🦚
You make me so proud to be an African woman. Greetings from South Africa 🇿🇦🇿🇦
Proud Africa!!! Big up!

@@hamdyibra9505 donc t’es 🇲🇱🇹🇬 ✌🏼❤️
Tu véhicule un message dont tu n'est pas convaincu car tu vie en europe et marié à un blanc et tu nous fait la morale de l'acculturation waouh quel belle exemple...
J'avoue qu'il y a un véritable paradoxe la, car au final ces enfants seront aussi blanc de peau et même à moitié blanc. Donc le métissage aussi fait partie de la perte d'identité des africains, pareils pour Rokia Traoré qui elle aussi dénonce ces cas là mais qui a des enfants métisse. Malgré que j'aime leur chanson
Love from Nigeria🇳🇬🇳🇬 Fatoumata😍

Moi l'occidentale, je compte sur vous, frères et soeurs africains, pour protéger ce qu'il nous reste de valeurs humaines... Ici en Occident, c'est difficile... Je fais ce que je peux dans ce monde qui marche sur la tête mais où tout n'est pas à jeter... Je suis fière de ma culture provençale... Qui connaît et aime sa culture est bien placé pour accepter la culture des autres car il sait ce que ça représente de façon universelle. Merci Fatoumata pour ce très beau texte et ces images incroyables !!! Et merci pour la traduction anglaise qui me permet d'accéder au texte donc au message 😘
Je suis fier de toi Fatoumata Diawara 🇲🇱🇲🇱🇲🇱🇲🇱🇲🇱🇲🇱🇲🇱🇲🇱
Merci de chanter la vérité... issue d une union mixte, je ne me reconnais dans aucun pays.. je ne sais pourquoi mais mon cœur résonne à votre sagesse africaine... soyez fier de ce que vous êtes.. merci de partager votre force et votre amour au monde..

N'oublions pas nos anciennes cultures!
je suis un inconditionnel depuis bien avant LAMOMALI et j'avoue que vous apportez une vision sereine et diverse de l'Afrique, plus particulièrement de de Mali où je me suis installé pour ouvrir une galerie d'art contemporain avec le jeune artiste émergent Famakan Magassa. Ce que vous apportez à la culture est d'une très grande hauteur d'esprit. Au plaisir de vous rencontrer à Bamako.
Merci pour cet hommage à nos ancêtres.
At the begins I saw man raised from the dead is an inspiring story to me , salute from Tanzania 🇹🇿
Te queremos desde España
Don't want to say anything that starts a discussion but I think we all should accept ourselves and embrace our cultures and accept cultures of others, after all diversity it's what makes us beautiful and unique 🧡

Greetings from Tanzania. KOKORO hits good
Wow you are truly a Kamiti. Amen Hotep. Sister!!. ♥ ️ ♥ ️ ♥ ️
Dear Fatou i first heard an unmarked audio tape of Baaba Maal’s record ‘the travellers’, and i was transported and i thought it can’t get any better than this; and then i saw Oumou Sangaré when she first came to Vancouver on a rainy winter night in a small upstairs club where the stage was a small riser only 1meter high and there was no railing to separate us, and when the girls sang i thought ‘it can’t get any better than this’; and then i listened to Genesisi Endlu Nkulu and thought how is such an impossibly beautiful thing possible?, and now i am listening to Fatoumata Diawara and i know that i am feeling and alive and full of thanks. Much love from Canada please come visit
Wallah ! C'est la vérité Fatoumata Diawara merci 💚🇲🇱💛🇲🇱❤️
Proud your culture and your ancestors. It’s important massage.

Si la majorité de notre génération pouvaient suivre cette dame dans tous ses idéologie musicale,je pense que ça va beaucoup nous apporter pour notre réveil de conscience

Ms Fatoumata.... your music touches the soul! My first experience with your voice and story telling was with Nterini, then Mali, then Dèsole... Nterini made me cry before I knew the translated meaning and it was then I felt your soul!
Love from Europe sister 💖💞 you inspire me to stay a strong young woman and feel music fully.
Grande ouvrière de la termitière de la culture Mandinka (mandingue)

Will be watching from the USA ♥
Very cool, this video gives us a little peek inside of Fatoumata's cultural roots - I don't understand it all but do appreciate her unique ability to effortlessly cross cultural boundries in music and extend hope and love to all people. Fatoumata is a unique jewel that God has given humanity.
Chers africains écoute ça réfléchi bien
One of the best musical artists. Every song is always beautiful
So true. I love every one of her songs. I love you fatou. U are the best,❤️
