‘wagle Ki Duniya’

A Thursday evening in Bamako

Rokia Traoré is a fairy. A fairy

Mali, which has almost bewitched Thursday night during his concert at Mawazine. It started by us blues eardrums, establishing from the outset an aura of nostalgia unique to Africa, and during these few 1h30, has mixed Malian blues-folk rhythms that have made more swaying.

And we sway swaying, who still feel at times to be an island hopping in a sea of static. Group synergy will be a public fool for another day.
The concert was summarized by Rokia itself, probably without knowing it, through this beautiful sentence that I am eager to memorize:

PS: We would be back over in a trance with funky Gocoo percussionists of the group, who followed, but playing too divas (almost 40mns waiting), it / they have pushed us to Casablanca slammed to resume the way back before the end.
