Afel Bocoum 'Lindé' out now: worldcircuit.lnk.to/AfelBocou...
Celebrated Malian songwriter and guitarist Afel Bocoum premieres ‘Dakamana’, taken from his album ‘Lindé’, out now via World Circuit Records.
The song is a plea to his fellow Malians to come together, at a time when jihad, poverty and tribal war have brought the country to its knees. Afel explains: “Malian culture doesn’t recognise divisive expressions such as: ‘northerner’, ‘southerner’, ‘black’ and ‘white’. Let’s just say ‘Malian’, full stop. Social cohesion is our social security.” To the gentle click of the calabash and the twang of the kamele n’goni (large ‘youth’ harp), the song ripples along, river-like, with the trombone of Skatalites veteran Vin Gordon floating on top, a brash and stylish riverboat.
Damon Albarn, who acts as executive producer on the record alongside World Circuit’s Nick Gold, shared his thoughts: “Afel’s voice is one of the treasures of Mali, and this record is a gift to us all.”
Named after the wild expanse near Bocoum’s hometown of Niafunké, ‘Lindé’ is a remarkable blend of deep tradition and audacious innovation. The album was recorded in Mali’s capital Bamako, and stitches together the age-old music of the Niger bend with styles from across the globe, boasting performances from a number of eminent Malian musicians including Madou Kouyaté, the late ‘Hama’ Sankaré and Madou Sidiki Diabaté, along with the drums of recently-departed Afrobeat pioneer Tony Allen, the trombone of Vin Gordon (Bob Marley / Skatalites) and the violin of Joan as Police Woman.
Traditional instruments like the ngoni, njurkele, kora and calabash blend with guitars, percussion and call-and-response vocals. The result is a gently undulating flow that emanates from a source hidden deep in the historical and mystical traditions of Bocoum’s native land, enriched along its way by musical tributaries and cross-currents. It’s music that rolls rather than rocks, graceful, unforced and minimal by design.
‘Lindé’ is also an album with a message - in the face of an uncertain and turbulent world, and a homeland struggling with jihad, poverty and tribal war, Afel Bocoum urges hope, solidarity and unity. “We have to meet each other, talk to each other, look each other in the eye and tell the truth,” Afel says. “If we’re not united, I can see no solution. Our social security is music. That’s all we’ve got left. People love music, so we have to make use of that fact.”

English Translation:
‘It’s time for us to work together, hand and hand
And make 2020 a definitive year for peace in Mali
The Malian people are exhausted;
They no longer believe in the future of this country.
Malians are disillusioned; they're waiting for the truth.
It's time to stop and think
And make sure that 2020 is a year of peace in Mali.'
Makes your heart cry.
Moi je suis sénégalais, mais je ne pas d'écouter la musique malienne. Car elle me distrait et me réconforte énormément vraiment. Je souhaite que la paix et la stabilité reigne au mali et partout dans le monde.
La paix, le monde en a bien besoin...
From Ethiopia love Malian song
Quand j'écoute cette musique, je redeviens très fort mentalement et physiquement.
Longue vie à grand Afel Baucoum et tout les membres de son orchestre , vive la musique Malienne et l'ensemble des musiciens vivants au Mali.
Mastery meets simplicity.
Big respect to this man Afel bocoum,I can't understand the language but he has great music.
Vraiment que la paix revienne définitivement au mali. Vraiment je le souhaite en tant sénégalais aimant profondément le Mali et son peuple
En écoutant la musique Malienne, j'oublie complètement mes soucis billahi.
Omg - what did I just discover? So warm. So nice.

Fantastic! Perhaps worth pointing out, World Circuit editor: In the line copy it says the album title is "Linde", whereas in "Show More" it is listed as "Dakamana", like the song title. Love this.
Dakamana is title of this song and Lindé is the one for the Album
Love the trombones
