I kèlen yeelen di ne ma

Sisan ne kòni sèwara

Fo k’a ye ko diyanye min ye

A fanka ka bon ni fèn bèe ye

You have lit up my life. Now, my heart is full of joy. The world should realise that love is more powerful than everything else.

“Jarabi is a love song which, like most African love songs … 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.”

Sona Jobarteh - Jarabi

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.
