The roots of blues, jazz, funk and pop music are from Mali.From one region of the country to another region you will find different styles. Malian music is richer. One day a Jamaican woman whose husband is from Mali was having her hair braided by my wife, and I played a video of a diva from Mali, my country, she was amazed. She said this sounds like reggae music. The song is a traditional Malian song and not modernized at all. We used to live in Washington DC at that time. It was in 1998. Thank you guys! We can see how the world is small.❤❤❤
She said it sounds like reggae bc reggae is based on African-American blues. Dancehall parties used to be called 'blues parties' in the 1940s. Modern Jamaican music is heavily founded in African-American music. Sir Cox Dodd, Bob Marley, Count Matchukie & others were all inspired by Blk American radio stations they picked up in Jamaica. Pre 1940s Jamaican music sounded nothing like it does today. And you are correct African-American music is rooted in sahalian music which is why we're so heavy on string instruments vs other blk cultures in the Americas that are heavy on the drums. Blk Americans came from the sahel and we retained so much of our ancestral musical culture ❤
@Tshabalala-em3wj i got the receipts to prove it baby. Don't make me school you on your own culture chile. You'll be embarrassed. Hell google Sir Coxanne Dodd yourself if you don't believe me.
@@Gigi-fp8pdur actually stupid . If you were smart you’d know guitars are modern day version of west African ngoni which is one of the oldest string instruments . And we’ve always made music like this but ofc we don’t speak English so we don’t call the genre jazz . Learn YOUR history
I'm a gullah geechee jamaican descent in U.S.A and ultimately a Mandinka descent/West Afrikan descent and I've come back to dis song so many times since I've found it, shed tears and all (many times). My grandfatha played blues and my fatha and uncle love da blues. I make music myself (Hip Hop). We descend from deez people, Djeliw. dis is da root of blues. da tings he sings about here resonate even here. da Earth hasn't changed but da people of today have. (many of our people are forgetting our culture & original ways of living) and even still, so many tings have remained da same. (especially within our culture, it jus looks a lil different) to any Afrikan diaspora descendant reading dis, its for a reason. our ancestas are wakin up within us and calling us back home. if you found dis video & dis comment, its bcuz you was guided here. you have a culture & home in Afrika, you have noble and honorable traditions. seek and embrace dem. one love and Afrikan liberation for all people wanting & willing to be free. ❤🖤💚

I'm from the South of the same motherland. I absolutely love the melodies from Mali. They touch my spirit. I feel like I'm communing with the ancestors when I listen to these songs
No shit?
Your right
@@adnaneqahoui there you go white man
I can hear the foundations for blues but also reggae, especially when they play the off-beat guitar strokes. Just wow
True ... the overall vibe is very reggae-esque. The flow, the wave you ride when listening. it's a continuity within the notes, around the spaces, the people. #Garvey #Tosh

My friend incarcerated in a Texas prison told me about this. Sublime. Love from Australia.
I’m a “senior” American Jewish woman who has always listened to and appreciated music from all around the world. This traditional African stuff is so easy and natural to hear. We don’t need to understand the words… it’s just Great Music! Thanks for this video. 🎶🌍🌎🌏🎶
are you American or Jewish?
@@thornil2231 both! read
@@thornil2231you can be both. Judaism is a religion and culture. People can be from Jewish descendants. It is not a country. Give you 2 examples: If she was a Christian, she would be a American christian woman. And if she lived in Israel, she would/ could identify as a Israeli Jewish woman. So being Jewish is not a country.

The pentatonic scale is deeply embedded in the human DNA everywhere in the world.
This music soothes a good ole country boy from Alabama like me. They sound like a couple of dudes you would catch playing juke joint blues in the Mississippi Delta on a sunny hot lazy day. Nice.
Proud to be african ✊🏽
🇩🇿✊🏽
We're all Africans.
It's just that some of us got up and moved about a bit.
🙂
Why restrict yourself? Why define yourself by your colour or by your region or religion? Shouldn’t you just be proud to be a bloody human?
@@danialkaan Why even be period of being a human? Did i earn my humanity? I'm not proud about a damn thing but my own personal qualities and achievements.
@@danialkaan because it's an important part of their identity to them. And why is that a bad thing?
I m so proud to be African
Yaisn AdmaAnd you can to be it! I would like to be proud to be French, currently, like you are be proud to be African.
Peace be upon you and your loved ones. We are brothers.

This is from Mali... not from "mama africa" which is a post colonial vision
@@MrM222222 stop dividing people you stupid post modernist
You can drawer a direct line to JB Lenoir " Down in Mississippi " from this.
I'm Hungarian. Duna is what we called the river Danube. This song (melody, rhythm) resembles to a Hungarian folk song: "A bolhàsi kertek alatt". Amazing, beautiful❤❤❤
That's bc Malian music is pentatonic like Hungarian folk music. It's beautiful. It sounds good to us Hungarians.
I don’t understand the language but it can only be a beautiful song. Thank you 🙏
I discovered this artist through the album he did with Ry Cooder.
Where can we purchase the song?😊
ils jouent comme ils respirent c'est deux grand homme, c'est quelque chose que tout les artistes n’ont pas. incroyable incroyable amazing

I was so lucky to see Ali Farka Toure at WOMAD....he played his beautiful music out on the lawn in afternoon Sun to an audience of about twenty people...brilliant !
well that's one of the best songs of all time i guess
Peaciful and so modest if we thougth the common musics. RIP Ali Farka the king of the West African for who loves music. Love from Turkey.

Man, even the way he lights that match is elegant and blends seamlessly with the guitar. Is it just me who noticed that?
00:04 true master
Were those cigs or big fat ones?
Totally
Hahahaha. Of course, this man is coolness himself in the most beautiful, tranquil and positive way. Love each and every sound, peace of mind and strength that his music has been giving to me over more than one decade

Absolutamente hermoso. Desde Colombia

Love from South Africa🙌🏾! When ever i want to communicate with myself i listen to this beautiful music. Thank you
trust me this is music
I love how this goes on and on. I could listen to them all day. In a wonderful flow state.
🇰🇪 proud to be African always
I love how he lights up his cigarette at the beginning...that air of nonchalance..such people transcend the musical scale beyond the mechanics and theory and take it to sublime levels.
And that did not happen here.
What has the cigarette to do with musical talent?
I think he’s trying to say that the music is ingrained in the culture, not something apart that has to be studied.
@@1earflapping cigarettes..culture?
@@dcgallin In the sense that people in his area do it. Nothing to do with Western hoity-toity BS.

I'm addicted this high standard music video.why?... I'm from India.
Because we all have the innate mechanism to resonate with what is absolute beauty. Which is everywhere, but easier to feel in arts.
Because it's good
Blues came from Africa... And this is the evidence!!!! Proud African
Uya Joseph you don’t need evidence for that. It’s a fact as similar to the sun rising in the east.
I can hear the connection too. Incredible.
ruclips.net/video/qtFqyNlsHXU/видео.html listen to Sam "lightnin" Hopkins play and you will see that nothing really changed but the language but the soul and chord rhythm remains the same also the story behind it" almost sounds the same!!
Blues did not come from Africa you idiot.
Sounds like North Mississippi blues or rather it sounds like this.
Much love my brothers from California I’ve no clue on the lyrics but I love it. I’ll drop my research on the meaning but god bless both of you with long and healthy lives. Thanks for sharing.
The guy with out head cofia is RIP ali farka toure of Mali the father of African blues
They're saying, the world didn't change but it's people who did
Beautiful, and so sad to see so many African kids imitating American rap.
Two absolute legends. Absolutely devastating how poor Boubacar was, despite his immense fame all over the continent and in Mali
