#Amadou and Mariam

[katiajewelbox]

I LOVE the music of Amadou & Mariam! This music video shows the amazing imagination of kids living our their dreams and imagining the boundless possibilities of the future. The lyrics are in French (Mali was once a French colony) and warn about the dangers of lies and division among community, a relevant message for our troubled times. Something I like about West African music is that it’s insanely catchy and ear-appealing but features lyrics with serious messages and social criticisms with rousing calls to action, instead of vapid sexual innuendo and drug references like a lot of western music these days.

First Phoenix, now Amadou & Mariam?! The Olympic and Paralympic closing ceremony planners hacked my 2010 iTunes, and I love it.

In the spirit of supporting the LGBTQ community, we wanted to tell the story of a real life queer couple — and not just the young lover honeymoon phase — but also how love evolves, and transcends" --Sofi Tukker
