Maningoo: Ntelu la Maninga la, doo se Sunjata Keeta la taraxoo fo ñaa doo ma, doo sa a fo ñaa doo ma. Doo sa a fo ñaa doo ma, doo la a fo ñaa doo ma. Muŋ xa woo ke? I xa a loŋ, na a safeeta tuŋ nuŋ, woo te ke la. Bari baawoo nn na taraxoolu maŋ safee, toŋñaa filita nn ma Sunjata la kuwo to. Woo lee xa a ti la, Allah xa ke, Ate la Yamaroo xa safee. A teŋma, a mee fili noo. Feŋ mee kafu a ma, feŋ mee bo a la fanaŋ. Allah xa meŋ fo Anabi Musaa yen tuŋ nuŋ, woo lee be jee bii fanaŋ. Francaise: Ici, parmi nous Malinké, certains raconteront l'histoire de Soundiata Keita d'une certaine manière, tandis que d'autres la raconteront d'une autre manière. Pourquoi en est-il ainsi ? Vous savez, si elle avait été écrite, ces divergences n'arriveraient pas. Cependant, du fait que notre histoire n'était pas écrite, la vérité à propos de Soundiata a été perdue. C'est pourquoi Dieu a écrit Sa parole. De cette manière, elle ne peut pas être perdue. Rien ne peut y être ajouté, et rien ne peut en être retranché non plus. Ce que nous lisons dans la Parole de Dieu aujourd'hui est le même que ce qu'Il a dit au prophète Moïse à l'époque. English: Here among us Malinke, some will tell Soundiata Keita's story one way, another will tell it another way. Why is it that way? You know, if it had been written down, that would not have happened. But, because our histories were not written down, the truth has been lost about Soundiata. That is why God had His word written down. In this way, it can't be lost. Nothing can be added to it and nothing can be subtracted either. What we read in God's today is the same as what He told the Prophet Moses way back then.

The late 14th century was the beginning of the end for Mali, as a series of incompetent kings bankrupted the Empire and weakened its hold over its provinces. But the 15th century was more of a mixed bag - Malinke expansion towards the coast coincided with the arrival of Portuguese traders. The two would inevitably butt heads throughout the course of this period, and into the next century. Mali would come out of this conflict alive - but only just.

Social History Part 2. In which we discuss the religious and commercial lives of Malians in the medieval era. From desert mystics to forest traders with packs of donkeys, the lives of the Malinke and other ethnicities under the Mansa were rich and fascinating.

The Epic of Sunjata in full. The story of Mali's founder, as told by the Jeli Djanka Tassey Conde. From the search for a special wife to the trials and tribulations of being the world's most hated stepson, Sunjata rose above the challenges he faced to unify the Malinke under one king.

Modibo ist Koraspieler in Bamako, der Hauptstadt Malis im tropischen Südwesten des Landes. Seine Familie gehört seit Generationen zum Stand der Griots – der Musiker und Geschichtenerzähler, die schon in den glanzvollen Zeiten des Königreichs der Malinke für Unterhaltung sorgten. In Modibos Heimatdorf werden Mais, Hirse, Erdnüsse und Baumwolle angebaut, ein Hauptexportgut Malis. Die Lieder der Griots loben die Arbeit der Bauern und besingen die Ernte. Sie mahnen, die üppige Natur und die Bäume zu schützen, da sonst Dürre drohe. Eine Landschaft fast ohne Vegetation ist die Heimat des Griots Abasse, 1000 Kilometer weiter nördlich. Dort liegt am Rande der Sahara die legendäre Wüstenstadt Timbuktu. Abasse besingt die Verdienste einer Karawane, die seit 16 Tagen durch die Wüste unterwegs ist, um Salzplatten aus den 800 Kilometer entfernten Minen der Oase Taouedenni nach Timbuktu zu transportieren. Diese Arbeit sicherte den Tuareg jahrhundertelang den Lebensunterhalt. Doch das Leben in der Wüste wird schwerer. Das Wetter wird unberechenbarer, es gibt weniger Wasser – eine Bedrohung auch für die Kamele, die von jeher die Lasten trugen. Viele Lieder der Tuareg handeln von diesem Leben in einer extremen Landschaft. (Online-Signatur Medienzentren: 4981528)

»Und den Kindern sagen wir es erst, wenn wir tot sind.« Heiligabend - und ausgerechnet jetzt kommen alle Wahrheiten ans Licht. Robert und Elli sind eigentlich schon längst getrennt. Aber keiner von beiden hat es bisher über sich gebracht, den drei erwachsenen Kindern davon zu erzählen. Deshalb wird auch in diesem Jahr die alljährliche Weihnachtsfeier wieder im Elternhaus inszeniert - eine mittlerweile routiniert ablaufende Farce. Aber dieses Mal gerät der Plan ins Wanken. Roberts neue Partnerin, Chrissi, will das nicht mehr dulden und stellt ein Ultimatum: Bis zum Abendessen sollen die Verhältnisse geklärt sein ...

Tetta Müller hat sich endgültig vom Show-Geschäft verabschiedet und führt nun eine skandalös schlecht besuchte Souterrain-Bar in Berlin-Mitte. Lo Malinke verdingt sich derweil als drittklassiger Travestie-Darsteller in ausgesuchten Berliner Altersheimen. Nach einer grandios gescheiterten Kreuzfahrt-Tournee waren die beiden Malediven im Streit auseinander gegangen. Doch Lo hat bereits einen Plan, um zu früherem Ruhm und Reichtum zurück zu kehren: er will seinen ehemaligen Bühnenpartner für eine letzte Show zurück ins Rampenlicht holen! Doch als Lo versucht, ihn zu einer neuen Show zu überreden, stellt Tetta plötzlich Bedingungen ... In ungeschminkter Offenheit lassen die Jungs von Malediva die Hochs und Tiefs ihrer Beziehung und ihrer Karriere und die elenden Zeiten dazwischen Revue passieren. Keiner kommt dabei ungeschoren davon - jeder bekommt das, was er verdient. Und so langsam stellt sich die bange Frage: wird das Publikum überhaupt eine Show zu sehen bekommen? Müller und Malinke lassen wie immer die Fetzen fliegen und die Herzen schmelzen, sie schenken sich nichts und geben doch so viel. Und diesmal hauen sie richtig auf die Pauke: Malediva sind jetzt eine richtige BAND! Begleitet werden sie natürlich von ihrem fabelhaften Pianisten und Komponisten Florian Ludewig, für zusätzlichen Groove sorgen Björn Werra am Bass und Kai Schönburg am Schlagzeug.

Balla Kouyate is a griot and virtuoso player of the balaphon. Considered the predecessor of the xylophone and the first Mande instrument, the balafon is made up of wood slats of varying lengths. The slats are secured over two rows of calabash gourds, which serve as natural amplifiers. Each gourd is punctured with small holes over which Balla places thin plastic tape. The vibrating air rattles the plastic to create the desired sound. Were he back home in Mali, Balla would use spider webs (collected from kitchen walls) to cover the holes. The first known balafon dates back to the 13th century and remains under the guardianship of the Kouyate family. It is considered a UNESCO-protected Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity. Once a year it is brought out and played during a ceremony. In this concert Kouyate performs with singer Adjaratou "Tapani" Demba, Sekou "Pablo" Dembele, Makane Kouyate, Idrissa Kone, Daniel Day, and Raja Kassis. Speaker Biography: To say that Kouyate was born into a musical family is an understatement. His family lineage goes back over 800 years to Balla Faseke, the first of an unbroken line of djelis, or griots, in the Kouyate clan. The members of this family are regarded as the original praise-singers of the Malinke people, one of the ethnic groups found across much of West Africa. Djelis are the oral historians, musicians and performers who keep alive and celebrate the history of the Mande people of Mali, Guinea and other West African countries. Kouyate frequently performs traditional music at weddings, baptisms, and other domestic ceremonies within the West African immigrant communities of Boston, New York City, and beyond, and also leads the fusion group World Vision. He often accompanies kora master Mamadou Diabate, 2009 Grammy winner in Traditional World Music, and in 2004 joined NEA National Heritage Fellow Sidiki Cond Kouyate for a month-long residency at Carnegie Hall. In 2010, Balla Kouyate was awarded a Massachusetts Cultural Council Fellowship in the Traditional Arts.
