timpoli by foday musa suso, any one listen to this song? foday musa was so funny. it is a farming song that was sang during farming season. when men and women are at the tick of things. it use to inspire lazy folks like the kamara kunda crew. i hope atleast momodou knows about this music. do the english and dutch folks have farming songs? i am a framer at heart.
