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.

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

original music -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=md_de3G0lw4  Sona Jobarteh is the first female Kora virtuoso to come from a prestigious west African Griot family. Breaking away from tradition, she is a modern day pioneer in an ancient, male-dominated hereditary tradition that has been exclusively handed down from father to son for the past seven centuries. 

Also a composer, producer and multi-instrumentalists, Sona is one of the most exciting new talents from the West African Griot tradition to hit the stage in recent years. 

Sona has an effortless ability to blend musical styles and uses her innovative stance to talk about issues to do with cultural identity, gender, love and respect whilst still adhering to and rooting herself firmly in her traditional cultural heritage. Sona represents her tradition in a way that is easily accessible to her audiences from around the world, who are drawn in by her captivating voice, strong rhythms and catchy melodies.

thank you everbody for your support

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.

One of the amazing things about the deeply Jamaican music called Dub is its ability to act as a conduit. From its early days as stripped down versioning of popular Reggae tunes to its indoctrination into late 80 / early 90s UK Soundsystem & Dance Music culture, to its current massive mutation (with the “Step” planted firmly in its behind); Dub has shown itself to be not only a musical art form that stands strongly on its own, but also a vehicle of sorts that can transport and connect disparate musical universes. And it’s at the unique nexus of Dub and Arabic music that the Spy From Cairo sits the most comfortably. 

The Spy From Cairo aka Zeb is the kind of musician that fits perfectly in with the downtown NYC music scene – Italian by birth, Gypsy by heritage, and Brooklynite by residence, he has been closely associated with the Turntables on the Hudson scene for close to 12 years – producing dozens of albums as Zeb, the Spy From Cairo and the Organic Grooves project, as well as remixing for everyone from Baba Maal to Tosca to Billie Holliday to Novalima, steadily garnering a worldwide collective of fans and followers 

The Spy’s new album, “Arabadub” is perhaps his most realized vision of deep Middle Eastern and Jamaican sounds coalescing into something that sounds right and natural – because it was conceived and produced in just that natural way. There are no samples used on the album, and Zeb has programmed everything, as well as playing traditional Middle Eastern stringed instruments called the Oud, Chifteli and the Saz himself. Check the opener “Alladin Dub”, with its echoed out skanks, pulsing bassline, and majestic strings – and the deepness that is “Taksim Square”, complete with swirling, psychedelic accordion. Other highlights include the tense four-to-the-floor stomper “Desert Tears”, the rolling dub of “Sons of Hannibal” with it’s beautiful Middle Eastern vocal chants, the nostalgic “Egyptian Pulse” with its Steppers sound and melancholy vibes, and the dancehall vibes of “Prince Ahmed” – sounding like 3AM Kingston wrapped in a Bedouin Tent!
