I bring what I love - A movie about Youssou Ndour

girot youssou ndour mbalax senegalese music dakar film documentary egypt islam muslimYoussou Ndour is a candidate for Museke.com's favourite African music legend poll. It's not the only award he's running for these days. A film has been made about him, titled 'I bring what I love'. It is written, directed and co-produced by Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi. The movie chronicles events surrounding the release of Youssou's Egypt album, in which he tried to shed 'Islam' in a positive light. It was highly successful abroad but generated a lot of controversy in his home country of Senegal.

This is not the first time he has appeared in a movie or documentary. In 'Amazing Grace', as Olaudah Equiano, he acted as a central figure in the abolitionist movement in Great Britain and he was also on the movie's soundtrack. In 'Retour à Gorée', he played himself, journeying from the island of Gorée to the USA and back, exploring the origins of jazz, which go back to the era of slave trade in Africa, through a concert performed by an international group of artists.

E se eu te dissesse
Que Samora foi assassinado
Por gente do governo que até hoje finge que procura o culpado E que foi tudo planeado
Pra que parecesse um acidente e o caso fosse logo abafado

E se eu te dissesse
Que o Anibalzinho é mais um pau mandado
Que não fugiu da Machava mas foi libertado
Pelo mesmo sistema judicial que o tem condenado
E o mais provável é que ele agora seja eliminado

E se eu te dissesse
Que Siba-Siba, Coitado, foi uma vítima
Da corja homicida
Que matou Cardoso na avenida
Não Aníbal e a sua equipa
Condenados pelos media
Mas a mesma que deixou

Anytime you file your tax inna America (Larry King)
Anytime you file your tax inna Europa (David Beckham)
Anytime you file your tax inna Australia (Jeff Fenech)
Anytime you file your tax inn Asia (Yao Ming)

Remember that your money can end up in the pocket of some corrupt leader
Or you money can be that money that is used to buy guns and ammunitions
To kill women and children in Africa
Because your government gives it to Africa as aid
So put pressure on your government to do more to stop
Oppression, corruption, dictatorship

Chorus
Africa, where I wanna be

What happened to the first female hiplife group aka Triple M?

Tagged:  •    •    •    •    •  

Do you remember the track Girlz Girlz? The song received massive airplay in late 2003 and it came as an answer to Okomfour Kwaadee's Boyz Boyz. Girls Girls introduced Triple M, made up of Mildred Mark-Hansen, Mercy Quarshie and Monica Tawiah, to the Ghanaian music scene. They were the first female hiplife group, even though they initially started out by singing gospel music in 1995. They never released a gospel album though. Another of their hit singles was Koti, a song about policemen who beat an irresponsible husband while his wife pleads for mercy. After the Koti album, they featured on Jay Q's Compilation, where they delivered one of 2003's biggest hits, Driver, which was the female version of Castro's Sradenam. Their sophomore debut was called 3+1=? (yes, you read that right). And then Mercy went solo, and we didn't hear much about the group. Museke.com brings you a quick update.
