There were dasy when I listened to this song, when youTube was my only friend, when I was in a cold grey place, where it rained almost every other day and cold snow fail from the sksy. This song made me cry despite my age, it made me long for my home, a place where the sun shines everyday, the smell of rain water on dusty earth, my father and mother, the love and warmth of my peopl,cheap original vegetables. Now I'm listening to this song at home in Africa, at home, so glad to be home again.
I have tears in my eyes when I always watch this video It is full of life lessons When I see all these people, these innocent children very happy in their village despite precarious living conditions In life, wealth does not necessarily bring happiness but love and only can bring happiness. Our world really needs Love. Long live my continent Africa.
Luis, I never had great feeling about Argentina mainly because Argentina tried to erase the history of Slavery and existence of Africans in Argentina. To a point I don't like even the soccer team. But it is good to know not everyone is the same. How is it You dance to Tango and deny the existence of Africans in your land? Tango is African not Spanish. I am not attacking you personally. Just a conversation.......enlighten me. I maybe wrong.
@@luiskuramathi I see you could not address my point. Look into your backyard before praising Africa. Argentina is a Racist country who attempted to erase Black history. You associate your selves with Spain. Oh, your country harbored criminals from WWII. You don't deserve to comment on anything that is Africa related. That goes for Uruguay, Paraguay, Chile too. There were slaves in these countries. But you try to deny it. unless you have anything solid to say, don't respond to me.
I dont understand a word of the song, but still understand it all. So soulful, so simple, so honest and so innocent.Just what music is all about...beautiful voice, lovely people of Kirina. Greetings from India...
Music is an universal language. The lyrics, a foreign language don't matter. If you feel the music in your heart and soul, you have grasped the universal language
Baba is a real example of unity of Africa...with your universal voice and your richest words we always learn and take good lessons in this life... You show us love peace freedom and egality...your are the present of us and all the people...we're always proud to you...longue life peace and health dad....
Thanks to show us great people, happy and generous ! God bless you and all all the brothers and sisters of the world ! Grettings from Latin America (PERU)
The smile on these children is the best gift we can enjoy and understand, if they laugh there, we complain that we ...? appreciate what we have and share, however little, is our best choice. thanks
Baaba Maal you are the only one who always make me feel proud of my origins. Your name does not mean daddy for nothing. Your voice touches me like nobody. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I vae lived once in West Africa, I have met people from Mali, the most simple, correct, happiest people I have ever met. The are spreading love. Thank you.
Ta voix perce les coeurs des hommes. Baaba mal , ta musique réveille les âmes soucieuses et accompagne les générations. Nous demandons à dieu de te laisser avec nous. Longue vie .
So good to see happy smiling faces and dancing too, far from the misery of starvation and war often shown in stories from Africa. Keep up the good work. Peace and joy through music, fabulous.
African has a lot more to offer than what CNN shows. Yes there is poverty is Africa. But there is also Poverty in the America. Mainly among Black people. the people I saw on the video did not look like they are starving. They seem like centered and culturally rich. Notice the respect for the older people? What do you do in the U.S with them. You let them die in Nursing Home. You would have been better off just admiring the music and not stray to areas you don't fully understand. Stop watching late night TV!!!
Crying, because it takes me to my roots back! Thx to everyone who was present, when this Video was being made and the Makers themselves. Ancestral melodies!
J'ai des larmes aux yeux quand je regarde toujours cette vidéo.Elle est pleine de leçons de vie.Quand je vois tous ces gens,ces enfants innocents très heureux dans leur village malgré des conditions de vie précaires.Dans la vie,la richesse ne procure pas forcément le bonheur mais l'amour et seul peut apporter le bonheur.Notre monde a vraiment besoin d'Amour.Vive mon continent l'Afrique.
Every time I listen to Playing For Change I'm overwhelmed. This is video is another example of the profoundly beautiful, universal and unifying impact of music.
i find this song has a very powerful vibe and can't stop hearing it every day. We perceive life in all ways but when you are down and out and feel helpless maybe just listen and watch this video and re-evaluate yourself and think twice. I really want help all over the world in these poor stricken places and just cook non stop for the poverty. If anyone can help with leads and info please add a comment it would help me greatly.
Un grand merci aux initiateurs de ce projet qui nous procure la joie de vivre. D'après Alou Sam ,Baaba " hêrê nana" qui veut dire le bonheur est venu. La chanson est juste merveilleuse merci encore à Mahamadou Diabaté pour la kora., Baaba maal , Alou Sam C'est l'Afrique qui gagne.
Baaba’s music touches your soul, he makes you feel the music. Such an incredible singer, it’s a shame that this type of music will never be “mainstream.” Yet artist with zero musical talent and trash lyrics get all the attention.
One world, one people, we are all from this beautiful and amazing continent named Africa. With love and happiness from the beautiful Island of Barbados. The is beautiful art.
Music so uplifting and sweet, don't understand the lyrics but the voices and images reach out and touch my soul, tears in my eyes as I remember my dear departed friend, Yankuba Saho, awesome musician and Kora player. Love to PFC & all musicians.
Baaba Maal est une étoile de la musique africaine, j'aime ses mélodies, j'aime sa musique. Je rêve un jour d'effectuer un voyage au Sénégal juste pour le voir. Bravo l'artiste.
In this very special episode, West African music legend Baaba Maal and friends perform for the Kirina (Mali) village elders in honor of the new “Playing For Life” music school.
Playing For Change please advise which album will I find this song in? I've searched on iTunes and found some various playing for change albums but didn't find any tacks by Baaba Maal and specifically this track. What's the track title?
Lovely music, with feeling. and thank you for the person who served us well with a translation. Glad to hear that you are being blessed with a music school. Love playing for change and believe in what you are doing. Wonderful how all cultures have their own music and it is truly universal. You have my prayers and my support. God bless you all.

Not only that, but American jazz, blues and folk music is based on three chord patterns. Listen to the intricate web being spun around those chords and you'll realize why it has lasted more than 75 generations. Wonderful!
Babaa caso dio!!! your village is exactly like mine in Uganda. I like your vocal output. Always Africa will be in our roots. Webale nnyo is my language of saying thank you very much. muebien!!! muchos grastos!!! Just keep the torch burning.....Senor.
Wonderful!! The children, the mothers, the music that brings everyone together.... for a moment I feel that I am one with them all. Thanks to all of you!
In the 90s With Production Traquen’Art in Montréal, I worked to promote Baaba Maal. I will never forget the great time I had with him and his group. I fell in love with his music. I still listen to his album El Toro.
bravo baaba absolutely beautiful. May god continue to bless and keep you. Such a great gesture towards the people of the village of krinia. One love. Let us all strive to live in peace and harmony with each other. Put a side your differences and lets all live and work together, for the future of the continent of africa and its children.
