My people don’t forget to have a good time while you are here
For those whose presence uplifts all,
For those of character,
For me,
Clap your hands!
We need to give a greeting first,
To the trustworthy, we greet you
To the honest, we greet you
For those of character,
For me,
Clap your hands!
To each, their own
To my mother, her upright speech
To the elders, their wisdom
To the artists, their truthfulness
To the farmer, their crops
My people don’t forget to have a good time while you are here
For those whose presence uplifts all,
For those of character,
For me,
Clap your hands!

We salute our farmers, they are hard at work
We salute our farmers,
they are hard at work
Whether it’s rice
Whether it’s wheat
Whether it’s peanuts
Whether it’s any kind of produce,
they are hard at work
I won’t go with the foolish hunters into the dry woods
That spot is no good!
When the foolish hunter goes into the middle of the dry bush, he just wanders and wanders (finding nothing of value).
He greets evil women and tells them “good evening.”
Don’t let her distract you – she’ll leave you with nothing!
We salute our farmers, they are hard at work
We salute our farmers,
they are hard at work
Whether it’s rice
Whether it’s wheat
Whether it’s peanuts
Whether it’s any kind of produce,
they are hard at work

Drawing deeply on Mali’s musical history, OG blends analog, rhythmic dance music together with elements of psychedelic soul. With roots Malian drumming and the deep wisdom of Mariam’s vocals, OG moves audiences from the inside out. ... more
Orchestra Gold recommends:
You Will Know Nothing
by Here Lies Man
This is a cross pollination of two sounds that seem impossible to mix - heavy rock, and afrobeat. The grooves swing, the guitars sing, and those keyboard riffs are delicious.

The Budos Band V
by The Budos Band
Budos has been on the edge since the beginning. The latest album is a foray into darker territory. It moves, shakes and vibrates like a snake. Deep fuzz guitar, brash horns and pure vibes. 100 / 10.
