“I think that I learned music. And also you learn recommendations that you can use in your life. When you travel, you all the time remember what your mother teach you. You know in the African family the mother has a big role to play because the father is outside in the fields or going to work.” ThinkingKnowsPlayUseBigsRememberMotherFatherRolesTeachFieldsGoing To WorkRecommendations Author:Baaba Maal
“I did not like that name "world music" in the beginning. I think that African music must get more respect than to be put in a ghetto like that. We have something to give to others. When you look to how African music is built, when you understand this kind of music, you can understand that a lot of all this modern music that you are hearing in the world has similarities to African music. It's like the origin of a lot of kinds of music.” ThinkingWorldGivingLooksKindNamesModernMusic IsBuiltHearingSimilarityGhettoWorld MusicModern MusicAfrican Music Author:Baaba Maal
