Dougou Massa (The Head of the Village)

Amadou & Mariam are a musical duo from Mali, composed of the couple Amadou Bagayoko (guitar and vocals) (born in Bamako 24 October 1954) and Mariam Doumbia (vocals) (born in Bamako 15 April 1958). The pair, known as "the blind couple from Mali" met at Mali's Institute for the Young Blind, where they both performed at the Institute’s Eclipse Orchestra, directed by Idrissa Soumaouro, and found they shared an interest in music. Amadou lost his vision at the age of 16 while Mariam became blind at age 5 as a consequence of untreated measles. more »

1ère partie
Ne frappez pas l'enfant du chef du village,
N'injuriez pas l'enfant du chef,
Si vous le faites vous aurez des problèmes.
2ème partie
Même si tu te tues pour certains
Ils ne te seront jamais reconnaissants.
J'ai fait des bonnes choses pour eux,
J'ai fait de la viande grasse et du poisson gras pour eux.
En dépit de mes bonnes oeuvres, de mes cadeaux,
Ils ne me sont pas reconnaissants.
