Is it me, but it sounds more like a tune from the horn of africa.

Is that the style that is popular in the north?

Are they any native instrument maestros around?

very curious

i have only heard the lost without you track.

Great track. nice falsetto voice

Hmm sounds like Maxwell somewhat

By the way, I am sure you heard Ali Farka's last album. It was voted one of the top five albums ever by some rock and roll magazine. There is the macheingodi track on the album that speaks of Africa, blues, jazz. Superb.

The thing about the Album is that it is less accessible than say the Talking Timbuktu album, and some of my mates prefer that particular one.

Hmm any preferences urself.?

Okay I appreciate you guys throwing knowledge at each other.

Sprezatura, I am quite intrigued that you are seemingly involved in learning African instruments.

How difficult is it to learn the Kora/Balafon for example.?

When you hear Diabate play the kora, it seems so hard. He came to Glastonbury festival in the UK and did a set with Bjork. Absolutely wonderful stuff.

How could I forget Savage?

I aint mad at him tho

went to the same sec school

jayjaylux:
I agree wid y'all bt u certainly 4got bout my man robson aka robinho, do u know ow that guy burst into d football scene (did step over from d midfield to d penalty box in a final) also yellow carded for doing 2 much dummies for a fellow player. Think about that

lol

sounds like one of those rumours we passed around in primary school, like India 99 Nig 1

don't think its fair to judge the Northerners of Nigeria by media obssessd sharia issues. We have got music in that part only left for you to dig it out, You have definitly got taste in music, try Toumani Diabate and Sambo Susso from The Gambia.
We could exchange ideas and probably link you up with a couple of collectors here in the senegambia and Mali region.
Good Taste.

Ali Farka Toure is not a Malian but a Nigerien (From Niger Republic)

I like Toumani Diabate as well(so great with the harp). I am sure u have heard his collaboration with Ali farka.

So Ali Farka is Nigerien. I thought he was from Niafunke.

Semba Sousso i admit I dont know

Hmm I love Habib Koite, Oumar Sangare and I dont know if you have heard of nahawa doumbia. She has this song. walahi talahi give me goose bumps
afel bocoum as well

oh how can i forget amadou and miriam

from senegal, i adore cheikh lo

from guinea, orchestra baobab

i am afraid i dont know much abt music from gambia. hopefully u will enlighten me

dont mind me and my n/nigeria thing. trust me it is becos i luv the place

deco. I hate deco

DECO IS A self-servicer

shame he plays for my team

@somze

be that as it may, you have to admit Drogba's playacting is pathetic sometimes.

I am not going to hate a broda making his money but damn he goes far o

I jsut think the likes of Pompey and Man City will replace Nrwcastles and Villas and Leeds of yesteryears.

doesn't change the fact that only the usual suspects will be competing for the title

Ronaldo is not as skinny as he used to be.

and Brother is 6 ''2 as well

He is jus as bad as Drogba in the diving stakes

@Jackal

I dont know abt level playing field o

The problem I don't think is playing talent. There is enuff motivation there.

But coaching and judgement of talent in this country by local english coaches is pretty dire.

Is it no surprise that it took the arrival of Arsene Wenger in 97 to shake things up

Up to then Ferguson had things his way and consequently neva won the C-League till 99

Up till now, despite all the money, there is still a reliance on mature foreign stars who last no longer than two seasons.

@gbade x

enjoy the anonymity the net offers you o

I swear pray you never meet me in person.

See this small pickney o

chei

at last somebody that appreciates on nairaland

_{raises hand to heaven}

Do you like any other malian musicians?

Listening to this I get a tingly feeling on my skin. Absolutely beautiful music

Its a shame the NOrth of Nigeria cannot produce music like this.

RIP ALI FARKA TOURE

HOW DID A GUY WITH A SHITTY VOICE AND EVEN SHITTIER LYRICS GET TO BE SO BIG.

@xRIS

We might have solved the erosion/flood problem in the south if those innovative amongst us were not forced to give our skills to foreign lands.

With such a Cabinet, the chances of that changing anytime soon. NIL

MP007:
i love american football and hate soccer, u aint going to tell me u don't like some form of sports @ chaz(fellow soccer hater).

soccer is boring to me, no hard tackles like football .always passing the ball up and down the field , boring sport, dam right i said it , football season is starting soon , GO DALLAS COWBOY!!!!!!

the Cowboys suck. Eagles for the division.

I have stayed out of the thread basically to get a feeler for how people will react.

And by and large I have not been disappointed.

I have done some soul searching over the issue of why I find church services boring, and I have come to the conclusion that yes, I am disturbed by a demon, a demon that keeps implanting this seeds of doubt in my mind if not over the veracity of the word of God but the unanswered questions that many religious institutions avoid.

I have a very inquisitive mind, and I simply cannot just Believe based on a fad or general practice.

The substantial basis that can sustain a relationship with God, I admit now I do not have.

Perhaps, it is because I am searching for such a foundation, and I feel that Christian organised religion avoids those questions that I find Churches an arduous experience.

How do threads manage to get so off track.


This thread is meant to be about BARACK OBAMA

@Denex

But why bloody give education to someone who is going to waste it in the first place

The Northerners have taken Islam back to the pre moorish era.

Education will only be beneficial to those who want to release their mind.

I insist it is still a bloody joke

and concerning the states. Bloody hell are you going to distribute resources based on who has got more sand, or which area sustains more people.

There is a reason why in the United Kingdom, London has moreelectoral constituencies than anywhere else.

Cause it bloody has more ppl

I hate Adebiyi(pronounced Adebayi in England) as well.

Reason- Bruv y are you so shite.

Obafemi Martins annoys me too- Brother can't play, mises a few opportunities, and then if u dont pass the ball to him, starts with some childish tantrums
Can't believe they paid 10 mil for the blood-clot

@Horus

Hope u are not one of those black power ppl who see conspiracies in everything?
