about

This praise song is a way of Diali paying his respect and offering his appreciation to Mère Khadi, Diali’s marabout (spiritual leader). When Diali first met her, he felt as if a missing piece of his heart was returned to him. She watches over him and brings him good luck. When Kaira Ba echos Diali’s vocal calls with “Je t’aime!” they are sending love out to her and the others in our lives who look over us.
