IMUHAR

(Omar Moctar)
Matinfa tenassé in mouhague tigrawe tickma
Matinfa tinassé in mouhague tigrawe tickma
Ayitma yofa nikare nigrassidane yalla yicknane
Matinfa tenéssé n’mouhar tigrawe tickma
Imuhar tigrawe tickma n’taguilwene ahische rawane
Matinfa ténéssé n’mouhar tigrawe tickma
What good is calm to the Imuhar(1)
who are living in misery? 
In misfortune? 
My brothers, we must awake and understand that we have
gained nothing
What good is calm to the Imuhar living in misery?
In misfortune? 
The lives of the Imuhar are complicated, it is the way these
times are
What use is calm to the Imuhar living in misery? 
In misfortune?

Im all alone
Up in my home no one to come to
Never anyone there
Im coming home
All alone

Its my decision is just where i am 
All alone
I aint got a single friend
No one seems to understand me

Living my life all alone
I dont know what to do
Seeing nothing when i am
Coming home

Aint no one there for me
Im all alone

Its not right
Everynight
Nothing there
Im alone

No time is better for me
Im taking
Always
From my life and my mistakes
Im carrying nothing i am saying

Time for you to take
What you see
You truly aint going to take much anything 
From me

My life was never for YOU
Im trying to say to you 
You aint know
Time taken 
Never from me to be
One thing
I can never be
What i be
Its not for me its not for 
You

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.
