Languages through Music podcast is baaaaack! And the first guest is the incredibly gifted and lovely Kadialy Kouyate. I had the privilege of meeting Kadialy at Muxima-- East London's quirky and wonderful slice of Angolan originality.  https://kouyatekadialy.com/ Born into the great line of Kouyate Griot in Southern Senegal, Kadialy Kouyate’s kora playing and singing style, both as a soloist and in different ensembles, have been appreciated in many prestigious venues including the Royal Festival Hall, the 02 Arena, the National Theatre, the Royal Albert Hall and Clarence House. Kadialy has also played venues and festivals across the world, touring to Europe, Australia and North America. Since his arrival in the UK, Kadialy has played a significant part in enriching the London musical scene with his griot legacy. Kadialy has taught the kora at SOAS, University of London, for the last decade and he has also been involved in countless musical projects both as a collaborator and a session musician. He toured with the RSC’s production of Julius Caesar and other theatre projects include working at the London Globe Theatre on a show called We The People as well as touring three children theatre projects with the renowned Oily Cart. In 2015 he took part in the remaking of the TV series Roots as a musician, cultural consultant and dialect coach. Kadialy has released several albums, and makes regular radio and television appearances. With his Sound Archive, Kadialy Kouyate draws on his heritage and its traditional songs to create his own mesmerising compositions, leading his fantastic band into the West African groove. His latest album Nemo meaning Blessings in Mandinka was released in April 2020 and has won rave reviews from the press. Nemo was recently selected Top of The World in the July 2020  issue of the Songlines Magazine.

Com o terço nas mãos

Onde quedam fotos de família

De uns e outros de outrora

Dos seus pincéis de mil cores

Quero que um dia dês descanso aos teus medos…

Pelo cordão sagrado do amor

Chegou a tua força a mim

E a luz que trago

É a herança do teu olhar

Cuida mais de ti meu farol…

Meu farol, minha mãe, meu farol…

Du är en främling nu, finns någon hjälp att få?

Var är min kära som var mej så nära? S.O.S.!

Vem är du, som jag nu inte känner igen?

Var är han, denne man som en gång var min vän?

Den stora kärleken, vart tog den vägen sen?

Hur gick den melodin som var så spröd och fin?

Ieder seizoen lijkt op elkaar

Het maakt niet zoveel verschil
