Malinke hunter, Mali, by Vincenzo Cardile

[adito-lang]

Jarabi ("Beloved") is a love song that became popular with many kora players and guitarists in Mali, The Gambia, and Guinea beginning in the 1960s. The lyrics are taken from a beautiful poem in the Malinke language. Here are the lyrics for the part I recorded at Sona Jobarteh's concert last night:

I k’an to kini kini le la

N’tè sanu kò, n’tè wari dun kò

Ka lòn ten ko ne kelen dòrònle duman i ye.

Jarabi, jarabi ye dòlò le di dunya, ne tè se k’a to yen

Jarabi, jarabi ye bana le di dunya, fura tè bana min na

English translation:

You left me wondering in sadness

I don’t want gold, I don’t want money

Just to know that I am the one that you love

Love, love is like an alcoholic drink and I am addicted to it

Love, love is a disease for which there is no cure

THE GRIOTS OF WEST AFRICA

[tropicaldiasporarecords]

NEW RELEASE ON VINYL - PRE-ORDER NOW Afrobeat was in vogue some years ago. Everyone was looking at Africa for inspiration especially in the music and words of Fela Kuti, the great Nigerian musician who fathered Afrobeat from West Africa’s Highlife and the Afro-American funk that he encountered after being in contact with the Black Panthers in the US. In the West, the independent music scene was in crisis, and Afrobeat seemed to offer a good opportunity to redeem Western musicians who, before an empty and depoliticized present, thought that ‘becoming Africans’ could gave them a surplus much needed in the industry. The great drummer and composer of Africa ’70, Tony Allen began touring around, appearing in every festival in the West, and collaborating in every new record made. Some bands began to include musicians from the African diaspora who were used to legitimize the bands as a colorful extra and helped to authenticate rhythms and lyrics. Afrobeat was everywhere. It came from the West and reclaimed some glorious past lost in the ‘darkness’ of African history. In countries like Brazil, but also in the US, Afrobeat served for the (white) elites to discovered the African heritage without having to feel uncomfortable about it. It is a very strange thing if we consider that Brazil has the second largest black population in the world. Somehow, in a twisted rework of the Hegelian Master-Slave dialectic addressed by Frantz Fanon, the West acknowledged so its dependence on the African musical tradition without acknowledging Africa’s independence from its world view. • HÖRÖYÁ - Liberdade • Autonomia • Dignidade - Freedom • Autonomy • Dignity GRI GRI BA, means in Malinke the great spell, the great sorcerer • www.tdrgo.co/tdr12 • #höröyáonvinyl #grigriba #höröyá #greatsorcerer #tdr012 #afrodiaspora #vinyl #afrika #malinke #greatspell #HÖRÖYÁ #Liberdade #Autonomia #Dignidade #Freedom #Autonomy #Dignity #tropicaldiasporarecords #tropicaldiaspora @tropical_diaspora_records @dj_garrincha @dj_dr.socrates @grupohoroya @andre_piruka (at São Paulo, Brazil) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoP5LEUtOqn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Hanging out in Hyrule Field :) This started as a landscape study that quickly devolved into fanart.

Man I really look at the ships with the most wholesome yet most painful angstiest vibes with near or utter impossibility of ever happening/having a happy ending and just go "yes, that one, that's my emotional support OTP" don't I?
