J'étais à Dakar en avril1994...j'avais 21 ans..j'effectuais mon service militaire au Sénégal...nostalgie quel beau pays et son peuple merveilleux...30ns jour pour jour...amul solo

Listening to this beatiful song with it's entoxicating rythm and harmonies and suddenly discovering that my body is moving to the music, sitting in my chair in front of my laptop. That doesn't happen to often. My word, what a performance!

Amadou, Mariam, Manu Chao! Une tellement belle combinaison de talents et aussi un message pour nous informer de ce qui se passe dans les pays loins de notre vie ici au Canada. Je vous aime! J'espère que vous êtes tous biens et en bonne santé pendant cette pandémie qui a tellement changé la vie de milliers de personnes à travers le monde!

Not just in Canadá, here in argentina it happens too, we don't know about others countries. Now in my town there is a lot of people from senegal

For English fellows who likes this song, here is the meaning : this song is actually pretty sad. It is the story of a men in Mali whos getting married and he's dreaming to fly away to "paradise" with his wife, wich is European countries. Hes trying to get a visa to go work there. But as you can see, they all wait in line to get a visa with words like "Maybe", "Waiting" and "Hope" written on their body but they mostly all get refused. He even consult a sorcerer with his shells to know if he will be able to travel there. So the guy in the video decides to leave his wife and his country behind and to cross the border by himself even without papers. Thats why at the end you see him getting arrested by French police officers (you can see the orange armband of the french police officers at the end) when they ask him for his paper. The wife is sad and he will be deported to Mali. Sorry for my english, j'adore cette chanson :)

I had no idea Manu Chao was singing most of this song!! I just discovered his music a week ago and love it! I started listening to Amadou and Mariam about 8 years ago when I was painting houses and it made the day go by much better :)) I love seeing some of what I think is Dakar (Senegal) and/or Bamako(Mali).

Cette chanson me fait transportée toujours une petite larme a l'œil quand je l'écoute cette musique est magnifique 😭😍

A dura realidade dos imigrantes africanos na antiga metrópole. Essa música é didática por si só, uma aula.

Ça fait du bien de voir tous ces Sénégalais souriants... Habituellement, quand on parle de l'Afrique, c'est toujours pauvreté, famine, guerre, dictature, enfants-soldats et souffrance humaine.
