* Amadou and Mariam are a musical duo from Mali.
* The pair, known as "the blind couple from Mali".
* The duo produces music that mixes traditional Mali sound with rock guitars, Syrian violins, Cuban trumpets, Egyptian ney, Colombian trombones, Indian tablas and Dogon percussion - All these elements put together have been referred to as "Afro-blues".
* The new single 'Sabali' is produced by Damon Albarn (Blur/Gorillaz/The Good, The Bad & The Queen)
* I'd rather hype over it than Kanye West's 'Love Lockdown'.
* Sabali is the 1st single from the upcoming album 'Welcome To Mali', released on November 17, features a host of guests from the world music circuit, including kora player Toumani Diabete, who has previously worked with Albarn on his 'Mali Music' album and Bjork on 'Volta'.

The song says approxiamtively (except the malian part, so ) :
"Darling, i'm speaking to you,
With you darling,
Life is beautiful.
(lalalalala) With you darling, (lalalalala) this is my opinion.
Lots of love darling, big kisses
bye bye"

I only knew Bye Bye at the end before lol <3
