These days, I constantly find myself singing, humming or whistling the melodious 'Djamakoyo' by talented Malian musician, Adama Yalomba. This song is from his album Kassa and I am looking forward to discovering the other tracks on it. For now, here's Djamakoyo.
The little booklet accompanying this excellent Putumayo CD states that Yalomba sings, "Whether you're a farmer, a fisherman or a breeder / Work from the heart / Let us do our work with compassion / If you keep working only for yourself, you remain alone".
Live version here.
