Sona Jobarteh - Jarabi

Музыка

Sona Jobarteh hails from a long West African tradition of Griots and kora players; her grandfather was the master Griot Amadu Bansang Jobarteh.
Creating her own history, she has broken from the male-dominated kora tradition to become the family's first female virtuoso of the instrument.
Here Sona Jobarteh performs the traditional Malian song, Jarabi, accompanied by Femi Temowo on guitar and percussionist Robert Fordjour.

    @@alasansilla4693 Actually the word Djarabi cuts across many African languages and in one of these languages (lingala i think), Djarabi means beloved. Now i don't know to what language you are referring to but it doesn't necessarily mean that my own meaning is false. I suggest you go do some research like i did. Meanwhile I'll maintain that word and it's meaning for my daughter's name. Thanks for your reaction though.

    Here's a beautiful description of one of the deeper meanings of this beautiful song from Mali; this love song "Jarabi, from a FB post by Sarah le Kali on Wednesday, October 31, 2012...thanks Sarah! JARABI Most Kora songs are very formal and connected with some piece of history and cultural root of Mende tradition; Jarabi is an exception. However, Jarabi (meaning "Beloved"), is among the most popular of Kora songs. Originally composed shortly after the independence of the Mali Federation -- now divided as Senegal, Gambia and Mali -- Jarabi was meant to capture the new national spirit of renaissance. The government supported a return to traditional arts and cultural expressions of the many people of the region. In this new environment, Jarabi was born, has become and remains the single most popular Kora piece to date. When the French were forced to leave they offered Mali the option of remaining a common wealth under the French system; the people, so vexed by the brutality of French occupation, wanted only complete independence. Infuriated, Charles Du Gaulle order the country stripped of everything. Buildings were destroyed and infrastructure was rent a sunder. The people found themselves with far less than what they had before colonization and have been recovering ever sense. Composed in this time, Jarabi is a love song which, like most African love songs from this period, is intended as a metaphor for the love of the country, it's culture, and it's people. During colonial times, such love songs would be infused with messages through metaphors meant to enjoin the beleaguered with hope and resolve...

One lifespan is not nearly enough to comprehend the cultural riches of a wondrous continent about which I have been wrongly taught in my youth that "poor people live there".

    This is what the word "groove" was coined to represent in music....that magic moment when everything is in total sync.....synergy.....This is the magic about African music, which is always there and only sometimes in other forms of music. As a multicultural ethnic percussionist, I have come to understand that this fundamental element, the groove, is the essence of African music, because it IS in every instrument, including the voice. I'm gonna go out on a limb to say, for me personally, there is nothing quite equal to the "groove" in African music.

    I'm from Bosnia, Sarajevo living in US since 2004. Can't stop listening to Sona Jobarteh. What an artist OMG. I want to hug her and thank her for her beautiful and meaningful music and lyrics. My fave is Meeya of off he new CD. N'na Duniyaa for the movie Beast, with awesome. Idris Elba is outstanding, too. Love them both.

    The Story behind the Malian love song "Jarabi". Most Kora songs are very formal and connected with some piece of history and cultural root of Mende tradition; Jarabi is an exception. However, Jarabi (meaning "Beloved"), is among the most popular of Kora songs. Originally composed shortly after the independence of the Mali Federation -- now divided as Senegal, Gambia and Mali -- Jarabi was meant to capture the new national spirit of renaissance. The government supported a return to traditional arts and cultural expressions of the many people of the region. In this new environment, Jarabi was born, has become and remains the single most popular Kora piece to date. When the French were forced to leave they offered Mali the option of remaining a common wealth under the French system; the people, so vexed by the brutality of French occupation, wanted only complete independence. Infuriated, Charles Du Gaulle order the country stripped of everything. Buildings were destroyed and infrastructure was rent a sunder. The people found themselves with far less than what they had before colonization and have been recovering ever sense. Composed in this time, Jarabi is a love song which, like most African love songs from this period, is intended as a metaphor for the love of the country, it's culture, and it's people. During colonial times, such love songs would be infused with messages through metaphors meant to enjoin the beleaguered with hope and resolve.
