Pape & Cheikh released their Mariama album on Real World Records in 2002. Steeped in the traditions of their Serer region of central Senegal, but citing Bob Dylan, Cat Stevens and Joan Armatrading among their prime influences, Pape and Cheikh brilliantly encompass both concepts of folk music

Mariama

Vanessa🌹
The song tells the story of a young pretty girl who was trapped in a life controlled by her strict parents. They have high expectations for her, and she feels suffocated by their rules and restrictions. One day, she meets a boy on the streets, a Trapper and a Gangster. He is everything she is not supposed to be attracted to - rough around the edges and living a life on the fringes of society. Despite her reservations, the girl falls head over heels in love with the Trapper and begins to secretly meet with him. The song describes the intense passion and forbidden nature of their love, as the girl struggles to navigate between her desire for the Trapper and her loyalty to her family.
