A boat is safe in the harbor. But this is not the purpose of a boat.

I have no tiredness

“I have no tiredness. You must do it slow-slow. You not a beggar are, me not a seasonal-lake of money am.”

Ishtar speaking English in Hausa or hm Hausa in English

Slow-slow – reminds me of the South African now-now which we use here – having sooo many languages and cultures in one place – South Africa is really a language heaven – English, Zulu, Tswana, Portuguese, Afrikaans are just some of the languages I hear everyday – and then there are others – you really do have the whole world in one country here – amazing how many different ways people say the same things

Mansour Seck – Yango

About Mansour Seck from the Wikipedia :

Seck was born into the Griot caste, traditionally of low status and associated with singing, story telling and playing musical instruments. From childhood, Seck has been a close friend of Baaba Maal, and in 1977 the two musicians travelled to explore the musical traditions of Mauritania and Mali.

Maal went to study Music in Dakar, and in 1982, he received a scholarship to study at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Once established there Maal invited Seck and two other musicians to join him. They formed a band which became known as Dande Lenol (The People’s Voice) and played mainly to the Senegalese immigrant communities of Paris. The album “Djaam Leeli” (1984) is from this early time together. As their confidence grew, they toured in the US together with Seck’s first solo release coming in 1994.
