Song of Namrah?

[Mike]

Hi guys,

Again a little question for the djembe masters and djembe encyclopedias working there!!

Do you know something about the song "Namrah" (Famoudou album : Hamanah Foli Kan)? It's played with kora and lyrics only. I'd like to know the meaning of this rhythm.

I've got some lyrics only by hearing and trying to understand but I'd like to have your feeling and knowledge on this.

bye !!

well, it's a lovely song and piece of music

I recall dLuf tellin me that Famoudou explained the song to him
Basic when the women are pissed off (Husband getting remarried), they can do nothing about it, so they go to an old mango tree and sing this song.

He'll prob chime in or someone else should explain better.

hey to the kid,

do you mean "when their husbands are taking a 2nd wife" or ... ?

Hi guys !

Thank you, the kid, for your explanation. It's more than I had (nothing ). Hope dLuf will explain more about the song and its meaning.

Bye

Hey Mike,

What are the lyrics that you have? That might help us to decipher the meaning.

Ciao!

Hi Bops !

Thanks for replying. I tried to catch this song with intense listening. I had this with imprecise words ... And I really don't know the meaning :

Eh namrah allah nan le molo
Allah ba kosigonié kéné bado namrah
(choeur) Eh namrah allah nan le molo
Allah ba kosigonié kéné badoo namrah

Eh namrah allah nan le molo
Arte sila malo manié allah nan lé namrah
(choeur) Eh namrah allah nan le molo
Allah ba kosigonié kéné badoo namrah
