Among all the oral de__scriptions of the African music, even if the music is difficult to be described with the words, a sentence of the ethnomusicologist Pedro Miguel seems to be suitable in almost a perfect way: ‘It’s that in the music we Africans want to gather the din of the life. And we feel part of it, as we were tools that the Arcanum has scattered on the earth to hear the answer when he calls’ It is this the sensation you feel when you listen to the music of Djibril, the din of the life that explodes in all its positiveness, in its beauty, in the amazing overlap of rhythms that, at any listening, reveals a new and more and more complex message, but, attention, not complicated, rather dense, compact, pregnant of meaning. You perceive a thin thread that connects the unwinding of the musical idea with something that is aloft, very aloft and is delighted of the excellent result. The music of the group N'diabotgui tells and doesn't get tired to tell the innumerable bonds with the daily life, with the joy to celebrate the miracle of life itself in its most common aspects. These passages cannot be listened to only with the ears; they are not an object to contemplate, they are to be LIVED with the whole body instead. You need to let yourself be passed through and involved in order to form a whole with the ROOTS OF OUR SOUL!!!
