Djagb (Madan)

Djagb is the name of a Malinke-rhythm from Guinea that was originally

played at the ending of the Ramadan. A rejoicing happening where men and women dance together in this circle-dance. Variations on Djagb excist in the Kouroussa-region (Guinee) as Djagba and in Mali as Madan. N'yerebi This song refers to an old custom of the Malinke; Fathers appoint a special friend to a child. They spend during their youth much time together. If a girl marries, afther the marriage, she still stays some time with her parents and her "friend" nearby. When the moment comes that she is joining her husband, the djeli sings this song in the name of the boy. Famoudou Konat added solo 3.

A wa t le! N'yerebi wa t le! N'yerebi ! , Ka na wa ! Ka n'kelen t!

She will not go, my love will not go! , My love don't go, don't leave me alone!
