"Bana," by Issa Bagayogo
Issa Bagayogo
Issa Bagayogo is from the country and his first and foremost a peasant. Born in 1961 in Korin, a small village 65 kilometres from Bougouni (home town of Nahawa Doumbia, the region’s best known singer), Issa used to hoe millet (daba in bambara) in a ten hectare field with the family of father and his father’s four wives. As the son of his father’s first wife, Issa lived along with fifteen of his children. In all, some twenty people lived in the field.
On the musical front, Issa first learned to play the daro, a sort of rustic iron bell that used to be rung noisilly behind farm workers to goad them into action. At the age of 12 ? he began learning the kamele n’goni (the young Malian’s guitar) as well as singing (a bit like everybody there’s always a kamele n’goni lying around somwhere).

I looove Malian music. What do you think of Rokia Traoré? (you'll have to register to listen to her music, but it's well worth it imo)

Not that familiar with Malian, but ran across him on a BBC music show. I'll check out Traore when I can. Don't want to register for yet another site, but I will check YouTube, Amazon.com, or my library.
I fixed the tags. Thanks. -

My first funeral as an atheist

I posted the bulk of this on another thread, but wanted to add some context separately.
I finally confronted my faith and embraced the fact of my atheism late last August, 2012. Days after I revealed my "epiphany" to a few friends who knew me from another message board, my sister died from Lou Gehrig's Disease (which pissed her off because she hated catching a disease from someone she never f---ed).
THAT was my sister, understand? She was a beautiful, life-loving, potty-mouthed…

OK. I am venting. My mother died two weeks ago. She was a “god fearing christian.” Before her death she refused all medical treatment. She wanted to be left alone. She even refused to speak with my brother who is a methodist minister. He is a pip, let me tell you! I suspect she did not believe, but a woman born in her time could not and did not state her actual beliefs. This is the opening salvo to all christians; FUCK YOU! I had so many people come and tell…
