Voice of Kaaja Jawo

http://www.gainako.com/news/original-fulani-music-kaaja-jawo.html

A little tribute to my jovial Cousins (Sanakus). Pa Njie, Omar Joof, Uncle Sainey & Abdou Karim, Lad and everyone else (except the Baldehs) hope you all enjoy this clip.

The type of Fulani music is normally played during weddings and other functions. The unwritten traditional African history successfully survived time as a result of the griots. They are guardians of our societies, just like the traditional elders. The music is really touching, especially if you understand the content and context. They talk about religion, culture, morality, relations, purity of conscience, hypocrisy, togetherness, life, death, and almost everything.

Thanks,
Yero

Yero, Thanks for the link and the description to non-fula speakers like myself. Very touchy indeed and makes me want to jump on the next available flight to Gambia.
