Le cœur de l’Ahaggar est grand mes frères
Tout le monde reconnaît sa grandeur par la grâce de Dieu

Le cœur de l’Ahaggar appelle le monde à l’amour
à l’amour…. à l’amour….. à l’amour

SOUMA MANONE (Author/Composer : Ablaye Cissoko)

si je pouvais…  If I could…
J’ai la chance d’exercer le métier de mes rêves : sillonner le monde et chanter. Mais je pars parfois le cœur lourd. Je me dis juste « si je pouvais… ». Si je pouvais rester auprès de vous, vous voir grandir, vous entendre rire, sauter à ma rencontre quand je rentre le soir. J’ai le cœur serré surtout quand Marie me regarde du seuil de la porte et qu’elle me dit « Papa, emmène-moi ! ». Si je pouvais… Mais tel est mon sort : partir, arpenter les chemins, faire mon métier, sacrifier à ma passion. Penser à vous me donne du courage et la force de continuer. Pour vous, pour votre avenir. Vous occupez mes pensées constamment, de mon départ jusqu’à l’heure de nos retrouvailles. 
I’m lucky to have the job of my dreams, to travel the world singing. But sometimes I go with a heavy heart. I just say to myself “If I could...” If I could stay with you, watch you grow up, hear you laugh, see you jump for joy when I come home in the evening. My heart sinks especially when Marie watches me from the doorstep and says “Daddy take me with you”. If I could... But this is my fate, Leave, travel far and wide, do my job, sacrifice everything for my passion. I think of you who give me the courage and strength to continue. For you, for your future. You’re always in my thoughts from the moment I leave until I return.

An alternate version of Samba Touré's song Farikoyo. The original song is on the upcoming album 'Gandadiko'.

Release date: January 30th, 2015

Gandadiko, the title of Samba’s potent, diverse and ambitious new album, translates from his native language Songhai as: “Land of Drought” or “Burning Land.” The title seems to indicate a return to the dark textures that marked Albala but in fact Gandadiko is a more complex story than that.

Philippe Sanmiguel, a record producer living in Bamako (Anansy Cissé, Mariam Koné) and Samba’s producer for both albums, provides the details:

“One thing I’m sure of is that we didn’t want to do a second ‘Albala’. For Samba that album was maybe a little too sad and he wanted something closer to who he really is: hopeful. So the challenge was to have something as strong as ‘Albala’, but with more variety in the rhythms and moods and colors. I think the album sounds musically less dark, it’s more danceable and up-tempo, but, sorry Samba, it’s not entirely a joyful album. Tension, troubles and danger are still there in many of the songs.

The musical moods and textures found on Gandadiko often play against the moralistic, reflective and at times anguished tenor of the lyrics. For example, Touri Idjé Bibi (Black Fruits) breezes along with a straight-ahead, infectious dance groove, punctuated by soaring backing vocals. The hopeful sound that Samba had originally sought seems to have been found. But the final lines of the song are pointed and cautionary:

Oh earth, forgiveness, oh river forgiveness,
Everyday we offend you.

The songs on Gandadiko are framed by a restless eclecticism.

Samba’s guitar playing has never been so anxious, exploratory and rock and roll and his voice has never been as smooth and relaxed. Samba wants to be many places at once and the accomplishment of Gandadiko is that by successfully navigating these sorts of “contradictions,” Samba’s artistry has reached an even higher level.

Taken from album "Jardins Migrateurs" (by Constantinople & Ablaye Cissoko - to be released 13rd of nov 2015)

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

The Vaults of (Roots Music) Heaven: Chicago’s Old Town School of Folk Music Unlocks the Lost Gems and Wild Creativity of its Live Archives 

Venerable vernacular music institution releases 127 live tracks by the best in American and global music from last half century. 

On a stacks of cassettes, reel to reel tapes and digital audio tapes lay the history of American music. There were local legends and major icons, global musicians and indie rockers. Some captured beautifully from the board, some gleaned quietly from the dusty archives of a radio station, the recordings held wildly creative decades of sound from Chicago’s Old Town School of Folk Music, a roots-music touchstone for nearly 55 years. And no one had heard them.

Joan Baez and Donovan, Big Bill Broonzy and Ella Jenkins, Pete Seeger and Taj Mahal, Martin Carthy and Steve Earle, Doc Watson and Mahalia Jackson: It was a literal who’s-who of folk, gospel, country, bluegrass, blues, and world music, caught in hours of exciting performances. But someone had to put the pieces together—all 127 tracks worth—and someone had to clear all the rights with 85 different artists.

They succeeded, against odds that would have stopped others in their tracks. Live From The Old Town School (Old Town School Recordings; release: December 13, 2011) reveals not only the venerable institution’s storied start, but its role in the recent infusion of new energy into the roots music world, with everyone from Toumani Diabate and Oumou Sangare to Andrew Bird and Lila Downs.
