Dalila from Sowal Diabi by De Kaboul A Bamako
In Bambara “dalila” means “habits” and “iné” means “feeling”. Accompanied by Siar Hashimi playing the daf (a huge tambourine) and Michael Havard on baritone saxophone, Mamani Keïta repeats these two words like a mantra, seeming to ward off the wear and tear that the one exercises over the other.

Keeping company forges bonds that even physical separation and distance cannot break

“Sowal” means “question” in Persian, “diabi” means “answer” in Bambara. Sowal Diabi brings together artists that have all experienced exile, physical or cultural: Malian singer Mamani Keita, Iranian singer Aïda Nosrat, her compatriot Sogol Mirzaei playing the târ (lute), Afghan tabla-player Siar Hashimi, Kurdish stranbej (virtuoso singer) Ruşan Filiztek and French Ethio-jazz group Arat Kilo
