Rien à dire, un vrai travail de professionnel

[@adnanmundi6590]

The real meaning of the lyrics of this song is deeper than the very few verses that Angelique Kidjo sang. The wordings are from a popular Yoruba nation folklore about Olajumoke, a beautiful young damsel who refused all suitors until a lone dashing mysterious rich young man (very many adjectives here :-)) came along, bearing gifts. The parents had misgivings about the man who had no courting entourage, as they could find out nothing about his family origins or the source of his wealth. Against her parent's better judgement she fell head over heels in love and decided to marry the man. After the marriage, as was the custom, it was time to go with her man and that was when the drama unfolded for her and she sang this song, a desperate cry for help, but it was too late. Why? The man was a spirit being and is made of only a head ('ori' in Yoruba language) with borrowed body parts. The family members will normally go part of the way with a bride to see her safely on her way, but as they progressed on the journey to the underworld, home of the spirit man, he started returning the borrowed bits to the owners. Olajumoke was mortified, she sang and sang but she was beyond redemption, the deal had been sealed. The song was addressing her family members that Ori (head personified) is taking her (Olajumoke) away!!! As usual with African folklores, there is a moral in the story for anyone who is discerning.

"Ori! Ori O!! Olajumoke n lo" (Head! Head!! Olajumoke is leaving) is a clarion call from a sentinel (Turtoise/Parrot) stationed to alert Olajumoke's husband (an incorporeal spirit being called Ori) whenever she tries to escape the spirit world. "Agolo" is an artistic masterpiece that has a deep meaning. "Agolo" literally means a can or a gong used by ancient royal town crier to makes public pronouncements. It symbolically represents a call to Africans all over the world to not be afraid and to always remember the love for their homeland (mother Africa).

I associate this song with writing my doctoral dissertation back in 1997-1998. I'd listen to the radio while typing away, and Agolo was the opening song of … some program, I no longer remember what … that played at 1am. As soon as I heard Angelique's voice, it was a signal to me to get ready to take a break from writing and get/make some coffee. Which I'd do once the song stopped. And that is why this random white guy associates Angelique Kidjo with his PhD in physics. Her voice, and this song, kept me company during those lonely wee hours while I was typing in equations.

Aunty Angelique, I saw you last night with my 12-year-old daughter. We enjoyed every minute and when you sang Agolo; the song that captivated my mind and heart as a teenager in Jamaica 🇯🇲 almost three decades ago... I still can't believe I watched you perform last night, it was unbelievable 🤩 You are my favourite francophone singer and now I've seen all my top three Baaba Maal at the Royal Festival Hall and Youssou N'Dour with you last night. Thank you for your voice, beauty,and message of freedom and dignity for all. Lots of love and respect 🎉❤️🙏🏽

I used to be scared of this woman because of her music videos, but since I grew up I understand her now , big up to the legend Angelique ❤❤❤❤

My favorite song from Africa

[@BizzyG]

My love for this song is infinite. This is by far the best song ever sang by an African. Angelique Kidjo, you are the best!
