2dots Spotlight : Amadou & Mariam

Legendary husband & wife blind duo Amado and Mariam represent a strong force in their music that will give the listener open ears not just to listen deeply but feel the music within. Their music is full of inspiration and very intellectual though they sing in french if translated you will see the wise words they are saying.

Hailing from Mali, West Africa, their music have no boundaries with pure African rhythms, Afro pop and electro-pop genres. My personal favorite is Sibali meaning Patience,a very deep intellectual song full of wise sayings about life. Read the English translation below :

We came to have fun with music The world is a place of amusement We have a good time doing that. Audience! Patience! Patience is worth everything! Patience! Patience is good. If you love someone, patience is worth everything If you love a man, patience is worth everything If you love a woman, patience is worth everything Patience, patience, patience is good.
 
 Recently Nas & Damian Marley sampled their song Sibali in their African inspired album Distant Relatives. History was made when Nas & Damian brought out  Amadou & Mariam to perform together. I personally had chills watching the video.



I salute and give much respect to Amadou & Mariam.
