Track 2 on the March 2014 release - Akal Warled / Un pays étranger / A Strange Country
available here: http://www.forcedexposure.com/Catalog/CLE.008CD.html
This title refers to the issue of exile and its penalties. The song speaks of the suffering of the Tuareg, repeatedly refugees in Mauritania, Niger, Burkina Faso and Algeria, due to the cyclic armed conflict in their regions of northern Mali.

A country that is not yours is bitter  
It brings relentless depression to the soul 
They want to go home from where they came 
This country dries me out inside
My spirit and heart despair 
A country that is not yours is bitter  
It brings relentless depression to the soul
They want to go home from where they came 
Saharans Fighters, I implore you 
Speak with one voice
Unify this Revolution
A country that is not yours is bitter 
It brings relentless depression to the soul
They want to go home from where they came


Imarhan Tombouctou - "AKAL WARLED"

This is a love song written by Bombino. He asks his girlfriend to keep their love in her heart even after she has died. He tells her that he will keep her heart with him everywhere he goes and never forget her.
lyrics
I am telling you, my love will not leave you 
Hold up my love – everywhere you go 
Put my heart and yours together – everywhere you go 
Do not listen to the words of enemies 
They can destroy a true love

The Tuareg people are predominently nomadic people of the sahara desert, mostly in the Northern reaches of Mali near Timbuktu and Kidal. The Tuareg are often referred to as "Blue Men of the desert " - because their robes are dyed indigo blue. They live in small tribes with between 30 and 100 family members and keep camels, goats, cattle and chicken which graze the land. 

They are a proud race of people, famous for their fighting abilities and artwork, now staring urbanisation and resettlement in the face. 

The sword is a Tuareg's most valued possession. Many are passed from generation to generation and said to be protected by the victories of its past owners.
