Welcome To A New Welcome

Awa Poulo "Djulau" from the album Poulo Warali, out now on Awesome Tapes From Africa (LP/CD/Digital).

Awa Poulo is a singer of Peulh origin from Dilly commune, Mali, near the border with Mauritania. Largely pastoral and often nomadic, Peulh- (or Fula-)speaking peoples are found from Senegal to Ethiopia but predominate in the Sahel region of West Africa. Awesome Tapes From Africa is proud to release Poulo’s newest recording of highly virtuosic folk-pop, fresh from the studio, broadcasting her vision of Peulh music beyond the grazing grounds and central markets of her remote home region in southwestern Mali. 

It’s not very common to find a female singer performing publicly among the Peulh. But Poulo’s mother’s co-wife is Inna Baba Coulibaly, who is a celebrated singer most Malian music fans know. Coulibaly herself was brought into music by forces outside her control when a regional music contest required an entry from her village and she was chosen to be a singer. So, set in motion by a surprising series of events, young Poulo’s entree into the music world was auspicious as she gained popularity across the region. After several locally released tapes and CDs, this record is Poulo’s first internationally-distributed record.

On Poulo Warali, she and her band combine the hallmarks of Peulh music—warm flute floating over cross-rhythmic n’goni (lute) riffs and resonant calabash gourd hand percussion—with broader Malian sounds like lightly-distorted guitar and a heavier, rollicking inertia. Shape-shifting layers of rhythm and woody overtones match Poulo’s commanding voice in a jocular yet deliberate dance.  

This is a relatively rare example of Malian Peulh music played in a modern, cosmopolitan context, reflecting the mixed society of Dilly, where Bambara, Soninke and Peulh-speaking people live among each other. 

Poulo’s conscious lyrics about community concerns speak to the distinctive identity of her broadly-flung people. While Peulh represents less than 10% of Mali’s melting pot of languages, the dynamic music here powerfully resonates well beyond the linguistic borders.

I can swear before the holy matter:
I never loved this way

I cant help myself but only flatter: 
You re remarkable

Whatever you do
Whatever you want

How could it be so strong?
Why dont you come up on my pedestal?
Who?
Who designed your face ?
Congratulations to who made your body and the way it stands
-Bend over -
And the way it bends

Is it irony of fate ? 
I never thought i d ever call you 

Babe
It’ s such an honor
To be right here by your side
Such an honor
Ah!
I wanna cary your child
Such an honor
To be right here by your side
Such an honor 
you made me swallow my pride
Such an honor
Lets look like we spent time
Such a such a such a such an honor

ouh ouh 

You disturb my thoughts
You disturb me
You unbreak my heart

How could you be so smart ?
We never should have been apart
from each other 

(Break it down)

Help yourself
Grab my hair
Show you got skills
Savoir faire 
Kiss my tongue
I ll endure
Make us at ease
Switch position only for the view

Thus,
We bout that noise.

Ah

When it s solid state
Pleasure is all mine
Took us time to see it clear 
Were we in denial?

Is it irony of fate
Or is it just lessons learnt?

It s 
Such an honor
To be right here by your side
Such an honor
Ah!
I wanna cary your child
Such an honor
To be right here by your side
Such an honor 
you made me swallow my pride
Such an honor
Lets look like we spent time
Lets look like we spend time together

Such a such a such a such an honor
Such a such a such a such an honor
Such a such a such a such an honor
Such a such a such a such an honor

Such An Honor

I enjoy the silence in the room 
I enjoy the silence in the room 
I enjoy the silence in the room 
while they complain about it 


Sure
It s not the first ,not second , not 
third 
time. 
I see your message 
I dont answer 
back.  
It s kind of funny how we’re so concerned about it 
It s getting really hard to discern -

what times are we living through !
