Lyrics :
(English translation)
Synopsis:
No matter who you are or what you do, anything that happens in your life is down to fate. Each one of us has path which they follow. People should accept it and not blame you or judge you for who you are and what you do with your life. We tend to spend a lot of time and energy being fussy about petty stuff which can ruin relationships between siblings. Fanta and Bourama both left without saying goodbye, but they do not understand why this should be a reason to be crossed with them. While there are more important things in life to be concerned about.
Translation: Dakan = Fate
Solomani, solomani’s own daughter is here
Father
Jabar, Jabar’s own daughter is here
Aah aaah, that’s life
Think, think, think again, I’m here to stay
Think, think, think again, you have to accept it
Think, think, think again, I’m here to stay
Think, think, think again, you have to accept it
Those who are working, that’s their fate
Those who are having fun, that’s their fate
Those who are laughing, that’s their fate
Those who are partying, that’s their fate
I am singing, that’s my fate
The fun I am having, that’s my fate
The work I am doing, that’s my fate
The travelling that I do, that’s my fate
Mother, mother

Bourama left to go far away
And he did not inform his siblings
Stop being so fussy about it
That’s no valid reason to be cross with someone
Diawara Fanta left to go far away
And she did not inform her siblings
Stop being so fussy about it
That’s no reason,no reason, no reason
That’s no valid reason to be cross with someone
Ahahahaaaaa (Ahahahaaaaa)

Happy to share my new music video "Dakan" ❤ featuring the famous drummer Will Calhoun from the band Living Colour !
Dakan" is a powerful statement about the life path dictated by destiny. No matter who you are or what you do, anything that happens in your life is down to fate. Each one of us has path which they follow. People should accept it and not blame you or judge you for who you are and what you do with your life. We tend to spend a lot of time and energy being fussy about petty stuff which can ruin relationships between siblings.

Fatoumata n ka masamuso. Selah. 🙏❤

[@RichardHirtreiter]

Sister Fanta I recently saw you in Philadelphia and in previous years Chicago, Santa Monica and Cleveland. Over all these years you have courageously spread love and peace without fear. You sing songs of empowerment for the women and the children who are victims of war and violence in a language that is universally understood. May many blessings be upon you and may you know the love, in abundance, that you bring to us and the world. Selah we lift your name and spirit up to Heaven and pray that you will know the peace that is spread through your heart and received by all who hear your beautiful voice. Selah, Amen ❤️🙏🏻

[@engladtur]

This transports me back to the concert I was fornunate to see her and the amazing band. I go to concerts a lot - a lot - and I can tell you, this is definitely in my top 3 experiences. I swear it was like some african voodoo that put me in a trance. I cannot remember it in detail but it's more like I remember the feeling more than what I saw, if that makes sense. So whenever I hear something from back then I'm just transported back into that beautiful space again with a stunning african (and pregnant!) lady headbanging with long-ass hair and playing guitar. Just thinking about it puts the biggest smile on my face. Keep 'em coming, Fatou and please revisit Denmark again, please... :)

[@echo_surfer]

I had a spontaneous spiritual experience the moment I heard the first note she sang at a concert in Kentucky. I burst into tears....full on weeping ....there weren't that.many.people in the hall. people noticed. I couldn't even understand any lyrics but, I couldn't stop weeping.
