Baaba Maal Quotes

• 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.

• 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.

• Nunca he experimentado con el hoddu como quería hacerlo. Como en la canción "Allah Addu", el hoddu y la voz es algo que pertenece a la cultura de África Occidental. Cuando vas al norte de Malí, antes sólo había un cantante y un instrumentista. Nunca hemos tenido eso en nuestros CD. En otras canciones, como "Laare Yoo", tenemos toda una sección de hoddu, unos cuatro tocando juntos.

• Podor is a nice town. It's at the north of Senegal near the river. The town faces the other country that is Mauritania. It is a very cultural town, because at the beginning it was closest stop when you come from the Sahara and also when you come from the south to go to the north part of Africa. It was just at the middle, and so it's where a lot of cultures of West Africa come together.
