Back when we were recording Welcome To Mali, Damon Albarn came to visit us in Bamako. This started a new creative process for us as we were used to composing each on our own side.
With Sabali, we all came together. We have wonderful memories of this collaboration.

Hauntingly beautiful. Something so simple can be so beautiful. Even though I don't understand a word of it. Obviously I'm not alone as this song has been sampled and remixed by several other artists cinnamon chasers, vitalic etc.

Conocí esta canción en 2008 cuando tenia 13 años y existía Nat Geo Music. Posteriormente hicieron una colaboración con mi cantante favorito y con los años me había olvidado de la canción hasta que la reconocí en el comercial de Coca-Cola.

AMADOU ET MARIAM are great icons representing an entire continent, specifically in Mali. You feel their music without even understanding a word. By the way I'm from Mali, Sabali means tolerance. Sometimes it can mean patience or forgiveness. She means when you are in a relationship you should tolerate each other.

It so unfortunate how this word has disappeared from the African continent. And that's one of the reasons for the conflicts in every part of mother Africa.

I just tattooed the word “sabali” on me. Truly a word that means a lot to me at this point in my life, with my art my music, my children, my job. I’ve accomplished a lot this year but sabali is something that kept popping up in my head through my courses. Be blessed everyone! A day you wake up is always a blessed day no matter the circumstances

Thank you for posting this song, I love it. These two seem like some cool heads to hang out with, you know? That sound is entrancing, and God uses the lyrics to remind me that He has ordained suffering for His people in this life, and those who believe in His Word must be patient. It also reminds me how my wife and step son in Indonesia who are waiting with me for visas to the US is worth waiting for. The man who wrote the following words heard God’s voice and God says people who believe in God should listen to this message and can ask Jesus to interpret it, because only God’s omnipotent and omniscient Son can interpret it: “1Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 3And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; 4And patience, experience; and experience, hope: 5And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

6For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. May God’s peace bless you all who read this and may He shower you with good things from heaven, according to His will and His love. Amen
