Through this melody, Madou Yalomba, the younger brother of Adama Yalomba, offers a heartfelt tribute to departed Malian artistic icons, including his late father Sambadji Traoré, Bazoumana Sissoko, Ramata Diakité, and Ali Farka Touré, to name just a few. This song proudly reflects a historical reminiscence of the achievements of these illustrious figures within Mali's rich musical repertoire, with the intention of presenting these past legends to the younger generation, thereby paving the way for fresh sources of inspiration for generations to come.
