"TaLeS FroM ThE NiLe" by AmmaR IbRaHiM is a monumental 50-track symphonic Oriental journey. This album flows like the Nile itself carrying stories of Cairo nights, Aswan sunsets, the deserts of Sinai, and the eternal soul of Egypt. Blending Sharqi, Arabic, Turkish, and Masri traditions with symphonic depth, each track becomes a tale: of love, memory, resistance, and hope. From fiery darbuka rhythms to the tender whispers of the oud, this album is a tribute to the river of history, culture, and humanity that is the Nile.

SOUTOURO (Le secret du singe / The Secret of the Monkey)

Tu penses que tu es le plus grand, Oh non tout ce qui est debout tombera un jour !. Soutouro décrit l'action d'aider une personne dans le besoin, mais en restant discret et humble. C'est le secret du singe

You think you're the greatest, oh no everything that is standing will fall one day. Soutouro describes the action to help a person in need, but remaining discreet and humble. This is the secret of monkey

Lyrics and Meaning:

Gaon maati door tohey chod aye
Ghar mein bhookey bhaat laaney door aye
गाँव माटी दूर तोहे छोड़ आए
घर में भूखे भात लाने दूर आए
Oh my homeland, my soil, I have left you behind
I have come away in search of livelihood for my hungry family

Motiyon si aasoon roti amma meri
Jaane kaise munna mera raat khaye
मोतियों सी आसूँ रोती अम्मा मेरी
जाने कैसे मुन्ना मेरा रात खाए
My mother cries in pain 
wondering if her son has eaten tonight  

Shehar mein hum besaharey
Gaon mera ghar pukarey 
Kal kya hoga sochta dil tham sa jaata re 
शहर में हम बेसहारे
गाँव मेरा घर पुकारे
कल क्या होगा सोचता दिल थम सा जाता रे
I am helpless in this city, while my village calls me home
My heart sinks, not knowing what tomorrow will bring 
 
Ye bimari jaan leti
Kaam chootey ghar ujadey
Yeh garibi hum jo jeetey kam hai kya re?
ये बीमारी जान लेती
काम छूटे घर उजाड़े
ये गरीबी हम जो जीते कम है क्या रे?
This pandemic that takes lives, uproots livelihoods... 
Is it any worse than the poverty we live in?

Dhoop ho ya ho ghata shram kartey jaye
Desh ke sapno ke hamney path banaye
धूप हो या हो घटा श्रम करते जाएं
देश के सपनों के हमने पथ बनाएं
In sun and in shade, we have worked hard
We laid the roads to the nation's dreams

Desh tu hai maan mera
Dil yeh boley haath jodey
Mushkilon ki iss ghadi mein tu sahara re
देश तू है मान मेरा
दिल ये बोले हाथ जोड़े
मुश्किलों की इस घड़ी में तू सहारा रे
Oh my nation, my pride... my heart cries! 
I join my hands in plea
You are my only hope in these challenging times

Gaon Maati Chhod Aaye - A Migrant Worker Anthem | Sounds of Isha | Arjuna Harjai

Vieux Farka Touré's beautiful latest album was recorded as an homage to his homeland.  Being that his native Mali has been splintered by territorial fighting between Tuareg and Islamic rebels since January 2012, his new album, Mon Pays, is devoted to reminding the world about the beauty and culture of his homeland.
 
‘For me it is a statement for the world that this land is for the sons and daughters of Mali, not for Al Qaeda or any militants. This land is for peace and beauty, rich culture and tolerance.This is our heritage, what we must always fight to protect in any way that we can. For me, that means making music that reminds the world of who we are.’
 
Translating as ‘My Nation,’ this predominantly acoustic undertaking had been planned before the invasions began. Inspired by his work with Israeli pianist and vocalist Idan Raichel, Touré initially went into a Bamako studio to honor the acoustic blues tradition of Northern and Southern Mali. Since that time, Mon Pays transformed into an artifact of cultural preservation.

Two songs on the project -Future’ and ‘Peace’ feature Sidiki Diabate’s kora leading an emotional charge complemented by Touré’s spectacular guitar work. Both tracks represent an important generational "passing of the torch" as Sidiki’s father, Toumani is considered one of the greatest living kora masters and was a close friend of Vieux’s father Ali. Their two records together, In the Heart of the Moon and Ali and Toumani, were awarded Grammies. At the 2011 ceremonies, Vieux accepted the prestigious award for his father, who had recently passed from bone cancer.

Mon Pays is the most mature and lovely record yet from one of this generation's most exciting artists to come out of Mali and one of world music's true rising stars.

Nouvel extrait de "Migration" feat Nawa (Margot Berthet)

Walking Away Feat Nnawa

ENG - Struck by the ancestral Mandingo hunters culture, Abou Diarra is an n’goni player (Malian harp guitar) with an atypical and strange career. Trained by his blind virtuoso master, he walked the roads between Abidjan, Bamako and Conakry for several months, only accompanied by his instrument. Crossing the remotest villages of West Africa and modern supercities, he is simultaneously influenced by hidden traditional sounds and contemporary urban music... His music deals with journey, exile, movement, life... He is fascinated by blues, jazz, reggae, groove... the rhythms and styles where country, sounds and influences meet... Abou adds strings to his n’goni and goes beyond the classic scale, using his n’goni as a guitar, a bass, a harp or a drum... in silent and nostalgic ballads or “bal poussière” wild rhythms.

FR - Marqué par la culture ancestrale des chasseurs mandigues, Abou Diarra est un joueur de n’goni (harpe guitare malienne) au parcours atypique et étrange. Formé par un maître virtuose et aveugle, il a silloné, pendant plusieurs mois, les routes d'Abidjan-Bamako-Conakry... à pied, accompagné de son seul instrument. Traversant les villages les plus réculées d'Afrique de l'Ouest comme les mégalopoles modernes, il y a puisé tour à tour des sons cachés traditionnels et des musiques urbaines contemporaines...

Sa musique parle du voyage, de l'exil, du mouvement... Fasciné par le blues, le jazz, le reggae, le groove… Les rythmes et styles où se mélangent pays, sonorités, influences… Abou Diarra explore hors des gammes classiques, utilise son n’goni comme une guitare, une basse, une harpe ou une percussion… dans des balades silencieuses et nostalgiques ou des rythmes endiablés de bals poussières.
