about

The title "Donsokè" embodies a true fraternal connection between Adama Yalomba and his brother Madou Yalomba. Through this poignant song, the duo pay tribute to a valiant "donso" named Siriman. Beyond his crucial role in preserving and protecting our environment, this traditional hunter also holds a vital responsibility as a guardian of people and their belongings.
This noble function extends far beyond the era of independence and the formation of the national army, as the "donso" have always been steadfast guardians of their community. Through the lyrics and melodious notes of the song "Donsokè," Adama Yalomba and his brother Madou Yalomba express gratitude for the unwavering commitment of these traditional hunters, who, from generation to generation, continue to safeguard cultural values and the safety of their people.
