I am from Austria. For the last 5 years before my retirement I worked for UNESCO, mainly in Sierra Leone and Senegal. Dakar was an eye opener for me, having previously spent many years in East Africa. Fantastic people, fantastic music, fantastic food. Thank you for a wonderful time.
@@THEBETTYHAMISHA You are welcome. I have spent half of my adult life, i.e., working 25 years in various regions in Africa. And I have always felt welcome.
سپاس از این شور و سرزندگی که شما نوازندگان به من شنوده می بخشید. چه زیباست شنیدن نوایی که از ساز های شما.. نوازش گر روان و جان آدمی است...به جای آهنگ های کامپیوتری...پاینده باشید...
Sona Jobarteh is a trailblazer in the world of African music. She is the first woman from a griot family of West Africa to master the kora, a 21-stringed harp that is traditionally played only by men. The kora is a key instrument in the Manding culture, which spans across several countries, including Gambia, Senegal, Mali, Guinea and Guinea-Bissau. Sona Jobarteh's music blends elements of different African genres with western influences, creating a unique and captivating sound.
dont think its necessary to poopoo on other valid forms of music while saying this is amazing! it is amazing, this concert feels like it is warm smoldering coals heating me from the inside! people can also perform live music with electronic instruments and have just as much validity to call themselves true musicians and create these same spectacular feelings as these people.
Thank you universe. I'm going trough a very painful moment, trying to overcome a breakup and depression. After meditation with this mantra i feel much better. Whoever is reading this you will find your inner peace, let go the pain and embrace the power of love and the universe. Stay strong, be happy. Greetings from Argentina.
Happy to hear you found the best medicin in the world! Stay healthy...keep listening...and if you wish to become a good doctor..then share this music with people who are sick! ;) Peace & greetings from Holland
I'm a redhead rasta man 15 years of AFRICAN DANCE PERFORMED IN DAKAR AND ON GOREE. HAVE SEEN THESE MUSICIANS HERE IN SAN LUIS OBISPO, CA. THEY'RE SO TOTALLY COOL. I'VE DANCED AND PERFORMED IN SENEGAL THE MUSIC TRANSCENDS YOUR SPIRIT AND HEART INTO A TOTALLY UNIQUE SPACE. YES TO DANCE TO THIS VIBE VERY CREATIVE
If only this world are ruled by musicians instead of politicians, the sorrow and hardship that we all faced today would be healed by their songs.....just my opinion.
I concur with your statement. The cure for hatred and xenophobia is understanding and experiencing other cultures. This is wonderful music and should be enjoyed by all cultures. Much love to Africa, the rest of the world should look to Africa for inspiration.
Abaraka bakee sona , that's quality music,u make every Gambian proud.and the all of manding region of West Africa ,this music run through. My vain love u
i am from morocco and proud to be African, such a sensational performance, pure and simple not as the new music. i believe that the "Kora " instrument is made at heaven! very relaxing and calming... God bless Africa!
But remember, you too have an amazing lady singer + her band in your country : OUM !!! I specially love her song WALI , watch the video of the last HERTME-festival on RUclips, she‘s great, her voice beautiful and she herself is a beauty too. I fully agree: God bless Africa and it‘s people !
@@gaessli6904 yesss she is really a genius , i suggest you also to watch SHINE by Oum, and also to check HINDI ZAHRA, she is a moroccan amazigh singer, and she has a very good music
Mourad Oufquir - Yes, God bless Africa, the cradle of the human race, and her music! And thank you for introducing me to Oum. Wonderful voice and music.
Yo, en Agosto 2024, me la compartió el Dr. David Díaz. Es una música sensacional, las percusiones suaves, dulces, no opacan el resto de los demás instrumentos. Gracias por compartir
Here in Romania we have a deep rooted folklore, traditions, music and rituals but nothing feels as close and familiar as some of the traditional African songs and voices sound. Is not even a specific part of Africa, either is Western or Southern...it's something in the tone of the voice, in the instrument used, in the scales or language, like all the human history is projected o in the back of your head and all the grief and the struggle and the nature and wilderness until the present times are revealed to you as a reminder of what you've become in hundreds and thousands of years. The songs might mean nothing relevant, or the lyrics, not even care, is the package that sends you back in time and pulls you back to your office chair like you would've time traveled even for 5 minutes.
You feel that way because you are human... The common language of nature that we live in is still understood by you. You are human and you are still in tune with the essence of nature. This essence transcends race, distance or time, this essence binds the fabric of our existence and consciousness together. I have a feeling that you likely will be an environment-conscious being, one of those who believe in clean unpolluted, air, land and water... You're human, a good human.
Sona Jobarteh is a pioneer artist. The Kora is traditionally played only by men, and she is (or used to be) the only wonman playing the instrument professionally. And she is awesome; her voice and the Kora are in sync, becoming one instrument. I love all music from Western Africa - The Gambia, Senegal, Cabo Verde, Morocco, Mali, etc. Peace and love from Florida, USA
There are no words that can fully describe how beautiful her voice is. She mesmerizes with her singing. Looking at Sona you forget about everything. She is beautiful! She is gorgeous! It combines feminine tenderness and some kind of ancient power.
When you just randomly come across a piece of music and sounds close to you, just like that, your heart starts to dance, your head starts to bob on your shoulders, your body follows the rhythm and suddenly you realize, no matter where you are from, you can never escape your roots...mama Africa, the cradle of civilization!
Kora. An amazing instrument played by a true artist. The story telling through such a beautiful sound. God/Allah bless my beautiful brothers and sisters for keeping their tradition alive. ❤️👌👍✌️
YES It IS!!! PYRAMID!!! Afrikans every where!!! WAKE UP!!! JUST MEDITATE. !! I will come to you naturally. You are the HIGHER MAN AND WOMAN!!! All the Planets are lined up for US.!!!!
This is the AGE of AQUARIUS!!! This is our time!!! Oh Sey YA!!;; Our Advanced Ancestors and Prescent are here!!! Try hard to Meditate like the Afrikan Buddah!!! So Researcgy on the Afrikan Buddah.
I stumbled across this music searching for something soothing that could help me relax while I heal from lung cancer surgery. This music I believe help to ease the pain. Love it and now will listen to know other type of music. Thank you still recovering. Blessings as the music enters my soul and heals me from the inside out.
I listen to this almost everyday as I work. That drummer ain't playing no games! And the entire band completes each other like magic! Every instrument is heard individually. And they all collectively speak one language in a magical and naturally creative harmony!
Can anyone help me find a song that sounds very much like this lady that is the biggest clue I can give besides the lyrics and I don't speak the language so I may be way off LOL it goes peesucurum nedom kiom ahahh emaiye mieo nombie loki kesonah kesonah kesonah kanaia. It's the best I could do I need help ASAP please
As a person who has had the opportunity to hang out extensively with jalis (griots) in The Gambia, I am delighted to see a woman performing and popularizing this wonderful instrument and West African music. Women jalis (jalimussolu) are usually singers and don't play kora. It is wonderful to see a woman as such a master of the kora. Her singing style is not traditional. The traditional woman's style is much more hard-edged.
The internet has brought us problems and wonderful discoveries. Being from Brazil, I would never know this wonderful African music, without the global connection. This rhythm evokes my ancestors, moves me. Everything perfect and even spiritual. the percussionist is really good. Congratulations to the entire band.
That music is healing power - let particularly unhappy or sorrowful children and also ill people hear this gem of music which cleans your mind and soul.
Sona, most authentic female musician ever heard, you vibrate Africa. The Creator in you n through you more n more, to highest manifestation, you are truly amazing, blessed and prosperous. I call on all of Africa to support Sona and her dream, let's buy her music. Sona continue in this authentic way of expressing Africa to the world, love your awesomeness!
I am from east africa, realy this song make my day, even I don't understand thé gambian langage, but my heart feel this melodious african music. I am greating you from djibouti
Moustapha Waberi am just back today from Jibuti, found a Senegalese colleague there, he plays kora music in the car, I found it so cool that t actually reduce the temperature ;-). he introduced me to a dozen RUclips sites w very good kora music
I accidentally stumbled across this while searching for African songs and dance. Wow! I just learned something new about the Kora instrument. I'm now a new fan of Sona Jobareth and can hardly wait to see her perform live. After checking the website, I found that she's performing at the Arden Gild, in Delaware, April 5th, 2024. I'm buying our tickets now just in case it get sold out. I've never heard of the Arden Gild in Delaware, but I will find it, even though it's a 2 hour ride from where I live in mid-Maryland.
⚘️From Stockholm , Sweden, in the cold north: I don't understand the words but I rally like her⚘️ voice and music ! ⚘️ So very nice !⚘️Music can be and is international= for a lot of people ! ! Keep going ! 🌄
I'm Norwegian, and this music resonates so good with me that I'm tempted to say the ocean is more at play than the continent in this case, lol. Atlantic ocean is best ocean ;)
I'm from Philippines, I was searching to a music to listen, and I came across into this video and when the music starts I closed my eyes and this music brings me into imagination like im walking in the land of africa watching their beautiful culture. Her music touches my soul. It's wonderful feeling while listening to her song, I dont understand the song but I find it beautiful. And by the way she is so beautiful and talented.
Rotimi fash very true bro....I am a computer music maker but I wish I had my own live band to do what I sample.....the computer sound is washed out...when I look for musicians to group with or hire, the money is too much
Nothing wrong with computer music if it sounds good. There are very good computer sampled music that are as good as this. Many of the African greats use it. A good book on an electronic tablet is still good.
Just amazing!!! no words..... so proud to see one of the super great female African artists showing the world the magnificence of my beloved Africa, its hypnotizing music, greatly gifted people and wide and diverse culture. VIVA AFRICA!!
I just can't stop listening to this beautiful music and when I don't listen to it I come back to it it's like hearing something heavenly I love it and I hope that they continue for many many years I wish you the best I love to keep playing that good music blessings
Precious voice... lovely instruments... I even love the material of the clothes the musicians are wearing...You all look beautiful and please continue creating such angelical, full of unique rhythms music... It is adorable !!! Greetings from the Dominican Republic!
The sound of Kora playing in the background has always fascinated me. Came across Sona this year 2023 and been addicted since.it’s soothing in magical ways.
Yeah, just stop listening to all mainstream music, there is so much to discover. Music from the hearts of the artists to our hearts, not only made for the wallets of the "producers". If you can, please support real artists and don't buy crap you don't need. Without art, mankind is lost.
Just a poor American, and this "speaks" to me. soo beautiful..wanting.. the universal language of music. The true voice and speaking from an African Drum!!
this is incredibly beautiful. Without the african influence in music I wouldn't have choose to study and dedicate my life to music, its the part that I most like from music. Thank you africa, I hope one day Europe and the occident pay for the historical disasters
Because of you...I am falling in love with all of Africa's rich, dangerously beautiful and deep deep deep sounds...Sounds so new to my ears....Both musically and vocally...My hands are moving, feet moving, body shacking and heart pumping blood a bit too fart...Every track....Thank you Sona and everyone that made this a musical experience:-)))
I have been in love from my childhood . The music is the way to connect with almighty creator of this universe. Everyone is singing in their own way including birds, bees and so on and on. If there’s any way to eliminate animosity between nations, we all need to let the musicians have freedom to come together to play their own way to make us feel comfortable and happy to see each other and sit together. Music has no boundaries regardless of the language. Be happy to the fullest with joy.
Oh!!!!! I am so proud of my people's music!!!!!! that timing and beat!!!! she has a Beautiful voice!!!!!! Love their instruments!!!!!! I am so proud to be 80% West African/Mali!!!!!
Yes!!!! So wonderful to listen to!!! Nothing like it, except some vibes in Afro American music. Proud to be 85% African (west, north, east, south)! 8% Senegambian!
I'M FROM MOROCCO. WHAT AN AWESOME MUSIC. IT HELPS ME FEEL RELAXATION . AFRICAN MUSIC IS SO SUPER. GOD BLESS OUR CONTINENT AFRICAL THE LAND OF MODESTY AND DREAMS
Tears of joy dripping down my face from the effects of the songs by the Jobarteh family reminiscent of songs of The Mali Empire revisted. The Jobarteh family makes us all proud. Alhamdulilah. Thank you. . .
for me, sometimes music is like fire in Africa! I've been there (Cameroun, Benin...) and I love Africa. We are brothers: Brazil - Africa!! Thank you for this special music...real...from soul! KEMA!!!
I LOVE this music so much that if translated she was insulting everything about me personally, I would still listen and love every moment. Thanks for Posting. Thanks to RUclips for expanding our cultural horizons to embrace the greatness and beauty of our humanity.
Eso! Yo naci, en los EU, pero si me de cuenta de la cultura magnifica de la gente Africana alli en Colombia, cuando visite de nina, a ese pais de mi padre.
The richness of western (white) culture would be nothing without having stolen and adopted so much from African culture. Same with even richer Hispanic culture! I'm white btw
Listening again. What an amazing group of musicians, listening carefully, playing what is needed and not overplaying. They are relaxed as if they are in your home. Ths is how it is done. Can you imagine if they recorded Simon and Garfunkel or Paul Simon's music or the Beatles? WOW! Sublime musicianship on display here. Yes!
You can say that again my Brother. Wow!! He is so accurate and Rhythmic and smiling. Just having an incredible time. Man Sona is beautiful and exceptionally talented. Blown away!
To be honest, these musicians are in love with the way they look at each other! They literally understand each other. Smiles, head movement, nods... This can be nothing but love! Thank you, Sona! 💕
The universality of music always astounds me. You don't need to understand the language to understand the essence and heart of the beat. Music is certainly one of the highlights of life on this rock! Beautiful concert...
Yes its truly incredible .💚 There is only one religion, the religion of Love There is only one language, the language of the Heart There is only one caste, the caste of Humanity ~ Sathya Sai Baba
I meditate everyday and a lot, and with her music on or somebody else like her, and I don't think somebody like her exist, I even told that to one of her drums player right before, they were playing at place des arts tonight
I just saw Sona interview on 60 Minutes in the USA and her music and the Kora. At first I was thinking of Ravi Shankar but this is different sound and her voice is great. Such beautiful, peaceful music for these times. I’m sure her Star will rise even more now.
Glad you were excited and exposed to her talent. Europe have been enjoying the traditional talented African music for great time. Type Kora on you tube and you will discover another world of story tellers. 👍✌️
I stumbled on this pure niceness. This is how music should be simple, soulful and minimalist. No computer generated stuff. The live audience must have been very lucky to attend such a concert. That drummer though is over to the moon.
Afrikan music has soul. Sona is a Gambian pride, she is a national treasure. Her sound gives me a strange feeling, like my kundalini is waking up. 🇬🇲❤💙💚
I’m ubering in the streets of Philly and playing this awesome music as my riders are grooving while giving me 5 stars and nice tips to this wonderful sound.
Your music has saved me through the most difficult times you don’t know how important you are to people’s well being you are so amazing and pure it was so good seeing you at Shambala it was one of the most emotional times in my life and you were there without knowing it much love it felt very special to meet you for a moment, have met a lot of artists in my life and you carry the flame of true passion for your culture and it’s beautiful 😊
My forefather's body may have been stolen from Ghana, and my feet are far from the shores of the Akan, but when I hear Africa's rhythm it stirs my soul and the African spirit within me is rekindled. "Africa Unite"
@@cristianaguilar8032 Yes, this is what I feel about this music. It reconnects us to the roots of humanity in Africa. It transcends race and culture and goes directly to the heart.

Moustapha Waberi am just back today from Jibuti, found a Senegalese colleague there, he plays kora music in the car, I found it so cool that t actually reduce the temperature ;-). he introduced me to a dozen RUclips sites w very good kora music
c'est du woloff Guinée Konakri
Konakri --in my heart
list the sites please. thx.
c'est pas du wolof qu'elle chante mais du mandinka ou mandingo ou encore bambara les langues qui se comprennent exp: MAMAMUSSO veut dire GRAND MERE
I accidentally stumbled across this while searching for African songs and dance. Wow! I just learned something new about the Kora instrument. I'm now a new fan of Sona Jobareth and can hardly wait to see her perform live. After checking the website, I found that she's performing at the Arden Gild, in Delaware, April 5th, 2024. I'm buying our tickets now just in case it get sold out. I've never heard of the Arden Gild in Delaware, but I will find it, even though it's a 2 hour ride from where I live in mid-Maryland.
you will have a blast, have fun.
Me too, the first note I heard from that guitar. I was mesmerized. They are incredible
Saw her and band in Miami - not just magical music but very inspiring presence, and very humorous too she is !
I love the way she dress. She dresses like A WOMAN
Her songs are beautiful. God bless you more
⚘️From Stockholm , Sweden, in the cold north: I don't understand the words but I rally like her⚘️ voice and music ! ⚘️ So very nice !⚘️Music can be and is international= for a lot of people ! ! Keep going ! 🌄
Fellow Stockholmer checking in and joining in the praise of Jobarteh!
Thanks Sona, beautiful music. Viva Africa!
Heu guys, I feel like the drummer hasn't been praised enough! That guy is madly good with a constant natural cool grin on his face!
I love this music and this continent!
thank you !
Anita Brogli
elisabeth sury we love you too
I'm Norwegian, and this music resonates so good with me that I'm tempted to say the ocean is more at play than the continent in this case, lol.
Atlantic ocean is best ocean ;)
Beautiful Sound ! Beautiful People ! Thanks for Sahring Music as we love doing it with Musicians in France.Regards #hurrykenproduction
I'm from Philippines, I was searching to a music to listen, and I came across into this video and when the music starts I closed my eyes and this music brings me into imagination like im walking in the land of africa watching their beautiful culture. Her music touches my soul. It's wonderful feeling while listening to her song, I dont understand the song but I find it beautiful. And by the way she is so beautiful and talented.
Music is an universal language… listening from Canada…. Excellent…
Nous regardons et écoutons les mêmes personnes... Nous avons de très bons goûts 🌞
Une grande Dame, et son orchestre, Magnifique!
Your music is make me fly love from Morocco to West Africa,proud to be from Africa
Norberto Sanches the very Nice music I Love
oh hell yes!!!! ✌🏽
That bass player is on fire
This is our culture,not computer music.She was groundend on earth.Our ancestors is with you
Rotimi fash very true bro....I am a computer music maker but I wish I had my own live band to do what I sample.....the computer sound is washed out...when I look for musicians to group with or hire, the money is too much
maybe you know the orginal lyrics of Mamamuso ?
Nothing wrong with computer music if it sounds good. There are very good computer sampled music that are as good as this. Many of the African greats use it. A good book on an electronic tablet is still good.

Hypnotizing music 😁 that's the word I'm looking for 😁 thank you Elizabeth Nadurlle.
Precious voice... lovely instruments... I even love the material of the clothes the musicians are wearing...You all look beautiful and please continue creating such angelical, full of unique rhythms music... It is adorable !!! Greetings from the Dominican Republic!
The sound of Kora playing in the background has always fascinated me. Came across Sona this year 2023 and been addicted since.it’s soothing in magical ways.
listen to Ballaké Sissoko - Nan Sira Madi as well. Check out Tiamane Diabate.
This speaks to my soul. Medicine for the soul. A break from the monotony that american music has become. Thanks yall
Thanks the RUclips
Yeah, just stop listening to all mainstream music, there is so much to discover. Music from the hearts of the artists to our hearts, not only made for the wallets of the "producers". If you can, please support real artists and don't buy crap you don't need. Without art, mankind is lost.
Well said.

You are awesome man
I’m from Dominican Republic speak Spanish but I like your music
Because of you...I am falling in love with all of Africa's rich, dangerously beautiful and deep deep deep sounds...Sounds so new to my ears....Both musically and vocally...My hands are moving, feet moving, body shacking and heart pumping blood a bit too fart...Every track....Thank you Sona and everyone that made this a musical experience:-)))
you want to correct the way your heart is beating, sir.... just change the r to an s... ;-) Otherwise, yes... spot on
I have been in love from my childhood . The music is the way to connect with almighty creator of this universe. Everyone is singing in their own way including birds, bees and so on and on. If there’s any way to eliminate animosity between nations, we all need to let the musicians have freedom to come together to play their own way to make us feel comfortable and happy to see each other and sit together. Music has no boundaries regardless of the language. Be happy to the fullest with joy.
Damn, a typo. Thank you for spotting my mistake.
I think I got busted. Yep a typo. Thanks for spotting this.

All the way from the Caribbean thanks for keeping me in touch with my African ancestors. Thank you
It is legit physically impossible to sit still to this music. Im not even much of a dancer but cant help myself from grooving to this. Love it!
Perfect music for me to end this awful year 2020. Bests of luck to everyone for 2021.

You too, thanks for sharing this lovely sentiment.
YES
@kublaj djuro it's an optimistic wish for luck that I agree & share, cause "mind moves matter"
thanks friend, u2
for me, sometimes music is like fire in Africa! I've been there (Cameroun, Benin...) and I love Africa. We are brothers: Brazil - Africa!!
Thank you for this special music...real...from soul!
KEMA!!!
SONA , 👍👍🌟🌿🍀🌿
Someone MUST bring her to Salvador (Bahia/Brazil)! Our people must know this amazing song!
Красиво звучат! Всех благ. С приветом из России.
Love Russian🇷🇺 people since in west Africa
I LOVE this music so much that if translated she was insulting everything about me personally, I would still listen and love every moment. Thanks for Posting. Thanks to RUclips for expanding our cultural horizons to embrace the greatness and beauty of our humanity.
Long life to African people, the richness of caribbean culture wouldn't be anything without you, greetings from Colombia!
at least you, you understand that! The root
Eso! Yo naci, en los EU, pero si me de cuenta de la cultura magnifica de la gente Africana alli en Colombia, cuando visite de nina, a ese pais de mi padre.
👍👍👍
The richness of western (white) culture would be nothing without having stolen and adopted so much from African culture. Same with even richer Hispanic culture! I'm white btw
@@sojournerbliss7015 -- De acuerdísimo.....Saludos desde Tepoztlán!
Why is this kind of Music the odd off? Much better than most crap on Tv/Radio.
Listening again. What an amazing group of musicians, listening carefully, playing what is needed and not overplaying. They are relaxed as if they are in your home. Ths is how it is done. Can you imagine if they recorded Simon and Garfunkel or Paul Simon's music or the Beatles? WOW! Sublime musicianship on display here. Yes!
Totaly agreed with u
this guy has a Ph.D. in beating drums!! he is so connected to his instruments, they are just an extension of his thoughts... amazing!!
Whats his name
Yes, the public is trying to keep the rythm with clapping but they can't keep it up :-)
The guys every bit of it. Song 3 intro is a Perfect piece for his drums
You can say that again my Brother. Wow!! He is so accurate and Rhythmic and smiling. Just having an incredible time. Man Sona is beautiful and exceptionally talented. Blown away!

To be honest, these musicians are in love with the way they look at each other!
They literally understand each other.
Smiles, head movement, nods...
This can be nothing but love!
Thank you, Sona!
💕
Yea a band shoud communicate like that.eyes body its beautiful
Exactly, I don't know what I like more, the music, the instruments, Sona or the way they all communicate ❤
Some observation there.
collaboration
❤❤❤
Même si je ne comprend rien, j adore énormément, et même je suis Marocain, mes racines sont africaines et je suis fier de l être 🎉
Anything from Africa is just great and spiritual, this songs can heal a broken spirit🖤
The universality of music always astounds me. You don't need to understand the language to understand the essence and heart of the beat. Music is certainly one of the highlights of life on this rock! Beautiful concert...
Yes its truly incredible .💚

@Raiders Transport.. That's a powerful comment indeed. Very true!🙏😍
Yes!! I have no idea what she is singing but it's so beautiful. I listen to this video often to help my kids relax for a nap.
I meditate everyday and a lot, and with her music on or somebody else like her, and I don't think somebody like her exist, I even told that to one of her drums player right before, they were playing at place des arts tonight
I just saw Sona interview on 60 Minutes in the USA and her music and the Kora. At first I was thinking of Ravi Shankar but this is different sound and her voice is great. Such beautiful, peaceful music for these times. I’m sure her Star will rise even more now.
Glad you were excited and exposed to her talent. Europe have been enjoying the traditional talented African music for great time. Type Kora on you tube and you will discover another world of story tellers. 👍✌️
Me too saw this on 60 minutes and just had to find her on YT . God bless her. She is a trailblazer one of a kind.
That's how I found out about her, 60 minutes I've shared her with my sister and daughter ❤️. This is now what I put on when I go to bed
and I just got tickets to see her at Chicago's Old Town School. Psyched!!!

Kora is one of the most beautiful instruments ever created !
So True
Gracias. gracias, gracias.
I stumbled on this pure niceness. This is how music should be simple, soulful and minimalist. No computer generated stuff. The live audience must have been very lucky to attend such a concert. That drummer though is over to the moon.
Afrikan music has soul. Sona is a Gambian pride, she is a national treasure. Her sound gives me a strange feeling, like my kundalini is waking up. 🇬🇲❤💙💚
styyyyle
Me to...! very deep feeling
kundalini??? can you elaborate please

I’m ubering in the streets of Philly and playing this awesome music as my riders are grooving while giving me 5 stars and nice tips to this wonderful sound.
Music from Africa is something else. Simply marvelous
As long as there is music like this music there is hope in this world.

Beautiful. All such excellent musicians working so harmoniously together.
My forefather's body may have been stolen from Ghana, and my feet are far from the shores of the Akan, but when I hear Africa's rhythm it stirs my soul and the African spirit within me is rekindled. "Africa Unite"
seems all of us come from mama Africa...
@@cristianaguilar8032 Yes, this is what I feel about this music. It reconnects us to the roots of humanity in Africa. It transcends race and culture and goes directly to the heart.
Yes, it's been a long time, probably, since any of my ancestors lived in Africa, but this music even stirs my cold, lost little soul!
Peace be with you always brother
beautiful words. I Iove the power of music to remind us of our humanity and our history and so much more.
