Amadou & Mariam - Senegal Fast Food
featuring Manu Chao
Amadou Bagayoko speaks with NPR's Afropop Worldwide: "We said we are all in theJe pense à toi
same boat, but nobody knows where we are going. It was like, we're all in this
together, but nobody knows what's going to happen. So the best solution is for those
who have gone on this adventure to a strange land to think about those they left behind
in their country. If they're in the big city, they must think about their parents and friends
who have stayed behind in small villages. That's what we sang about in "Senegal Fast
Food," because the song about exodus, about people who are going here and there.
People who want to live this way have problems, with visas, with the police, all that.
The best thing is to pay attention. You are there, but you don't know what's going to
happen."
It looks like the best outcome for artist Steven Kurtz of Critical Art Ensemble . It just would have
been better not to have happened in the first place. (via hallwalls and elsewhere)
