Ali Farka Touré - Heygana (Official Audio)

[@GnomaPhobic]

Sahel blues have been all over my feed lately, and I've been loving it. I'm from Alabama and this music feels so familiar yet new and exciting at the same time for me. Music is the universal language, ya'll.

[@endrywinarko8503]

Heygana (I’m moving) Wallaye ay ga koï Menaka (Wallaye I’m going to Menaka) It’s good living in Menaka Dignity (humanity) is so hard to find nowadays I am going to Menaka People of Gao you are witnesses People of Asongo you are witnesses I am going to Menaka Wallaye I’m going to Menaka (I guess this song was written before the recent events in Mali: nostalgia of the old times?)

That riff . . . has echoes of John Lee Hooker's riff from Boogie Chillen', which was then taken up by ZZ Top La Grange, Rolling Stones Shake Your Hips, Norm Greenbaum Spirit in the Sky, and a host of others. JLH's source traditional boogie blues, from there, cultural origins no doubt, but I'm no musicologist. The River is a wonderful work.

[@kelnour5547]

No matching between Marley and Ali all is diffrent music we enjoy both and other alsi .. when it comes to Marley he is the best ever musican in history . His influence in people all over the world .. no any singer in the past or present did it . Despite that he left when he was just 36 years .. Bob is still speaking to everybody and he is gaining more popularity day by day . He is Legend .
