Habana a Mali

25 Oct

My dream to be

in the heartlands of musical destiny

Once under the stars of West Africa

I learned the enchanting life of jali

The singers of kings and queens

brought tranquility within me

Sourced through kora, balafon and djembés

Transformed into bongo rhythms of freed slaves

Creating dances beyond my knowledge

movimientos de la gracia y el respeto

Para el secreto universal

of unlocking energy and passion

La pasión!

The unstoppable force of human nature

dentro de mí 

dentro de Ti 

++++++

persons of inspiration: The wonderful music of Roberto Fonseca, the voice of a modern African jalimusoo Fatoumata Diawara and an amazingly dear friend who always dares to dream

place of inspiration: A jazz cafe in Amsterdam with wonderful Cuban vibes, but ultimately a memory of singing under West African skies
