Amadou & Mariam – Sabali (Poor Ragged Rascal’s Future Funk Remix)

Posted on July 30th, 2009

Here is a another unofficial remix that started when I was trying to come up something for my dj sets. It’s some sort of future funk electro afro house blend. It’s a remix of Amadou & Mariam – Sabali. These two are quite a story, often known as “the blind couple from Mali”. They met at Mali’s Institute for the Young Blind, and found they shared an interest in music. They emerged from the underground last year and now find themselves opening for Coldplay. You can find out more about them here:

And you can buy the original song of “Sabali” here:

The remix will be included in my next podcast which will be uploaded August 1st. Feel free to leave your comments.

   thanks for your feedback, yes you can feel such love coming through on the original and I hope it translates with my remix. I found this translation of the lyrics online from Bambara-French to English, can anyone confirm that this translation is correct ….

   “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.

   Baby, I’m talking to you
   With you, baby, life is beautiful

   With you, baby,
   It’s for life.

   Baby I give you a great big kiss
   I give you a great big kiss
   I kiss you hard

   Bye-bye!”
