    I'm a gullah geechee jamaican descent in U.S.A and ultimately a Mandinka descent/West Afrikan descent and I've come back to dis song so many times since I've found it, shed tears and all (many times). My grandfatha played blues and my fatha and uncle love da blues. I make music myself (Hip Hop). We descend from deez people, Djeliw. dis is da root of blues. da tings he sings about here resonate even here. da Earth hasn't changed but da people of today have. (many of our people are forgetting our culture & original ways of living) and even still, so many tings have remained da same. (especially within our culture, it jus looks a lil different) to any Afrikan diaspora descendant reading dis, its for a reason. our ancestas are wakin up within us and calling us back home. if you found dis video & dis comment, its bcuz you was guided here. you have a culture & home in Afrika, you have noble and honorable traditions. seek and embrace dem. one love and Afrikan liberation for all people wanting & willing to be free. ❤🖤💚

    The roots of blues, jazz, funk and pop music are from Mali.From one region of the country to another region you will find different styles. Malian music is richer.
    One day a Jamaican woman whose husband is from Mali was having her hair braided by my wife, and I played a video of a diva from Mali, my country, she was amazed. She said this sounds like reggae music. The song is a traditional Malian song and not modernized at all. We used to live in Washington DC at that time. It was in 1998.
    Thank you guys! We can see how the world is small.❤❤❤

      She said it sounds like reggae bc reggae is based on African-American blues. Dancehall parties used to be called 'blues parties' in the 1940s. Modern Jamaican music is heavily founded in African-American music. Sir Cox Dodd, Bob Marley, Count Matchukie & others were all inspired by Blk American radio stations they picked up in Jamaica. Pre 1940s Jamaican music sounded nothing like it does today. And you are correct African-American music is rooted in sahalian music which is why we're so heavy on string instruments vs other blk cultures in the Americas that are heavy on the drums. Blk Americans came from the sahel and we retained so much of our ancestral musical culture ❤

If you really think the slaves brought from Africa developed their own American music in a vacuum without some native African influence (notwithstanding the deliberate attempt by European masters to eliminate their native culture), you're to say the least wrong.

    RIP Ali Farka Touré. A jamais dans mon coeur depuis la première fois que je vous ai écouté, vers 1993, en concert à Ouagadougou. Un des plus grands chocs musical de ma vie. Vous avez bouclé la boucle : la fusion parfaite du blues qui venait d’Afrique avec l’Afrique qui avait enfanté le blues. Votre musique me donne la nostalgie d’un pays que je n’ai jamais connu, et on dit de la nostalgie que c’est la tristesse d’avoir été heureux.
