The duo produces music that mixes traditional Mali sound with rock guitars, Syrian violins, Cuban trumpets, Egyptian ney, Colombian trombones, Indian tablas and Dogon percussion. All these elements put together have been referred to as "Afro-blues".
In 2004 they put out an acclaimed album produced by Manu Chao.
In 2006 they were acknowledged with BBC Radio 3 Awards for World Music in the two categories: Africa and Album of the Year (for the "Dimanche à Bamako" release).

The song "M' bifé blues" by Amadou & Mariam is a love song that expresses the depth of love between two lovers who are deeply in love with each other. The lyrics are sung in Bambara, a language spoken mainly in Mali and parts of West Africa. The chorus "Chéri m'bifé" translates to "My darling, I love you" and "Djara bi m'bifé" means "I have love for you".
The song reveals the intensity of their love and their desire to be together. The lyrics express the fear of being abandoned by their lover, the importance of not listening to rumors, and making a promise to love each other until death. The song also emphasizes the power of love and its ability to conquer all problems.
The repetition of the chorus and the melody, as well as the use of traditional African instruments, give the song a soothing and calming effect, which creates a peaceful and romantic atmosphere.

Hello, I really thank you for this valuable information.
I have two questions please if you can answer it. I want to advertise on Facebook.
1-Do I need to create an ads account or something like that, and then verify my identity, or should proof of identity be the first thing to be confirmed before I create any ads account?
2-Do you think if I put my picture on my profile it would be much better for confirmation? Or does that not matter much?
Thank you so much
