    The sample used on the song is from a well known sadly departed Mauritian singer called "Michel Legris" from the song "Mo capitain". It is with immense pride to see the traditional Mauritian Sega sound being used in such a wonderful way by an artist who really did justice to the original song. Thanks for exposing our sound to the world Asake.

    Magnifique, l'intro samplée de "Mo Capitaine" de Michel Legris apporte une toute autre dimension à ce superbe titre. Ça m'avait même dérouté à la première écoute lol
    Du créole mauricien mélé à du Yoruba et de l'anglais pour souligner l'importance de la sérénité face à l'adversité.
    J'avais hâte voir le clip de ce titre que j'aurais souhaité un peu plus long tellement il est agréable (2m30 c'est peu pour un pareil lingot de mélanine lol).
    Je m'attendais beaucoup plus à des scènes de Méditation/Adoration Divine Africaines plus "forestières", vu l'importance de la nature dans la spiritualité Africaine et beaucoup moins à des quartiers de Dakar lol Mais cela reste dans le thème de la chanson (Rester zen en connexion avec Dieu et nous mêmes peu importe les difficultés que nous traversons)
    Très bel appel à la croyance Divine. J'ai de la peine pour les athées 😂

Essentially spiritual. Asake is possessed by the ancestors.

    Let's stop the debate and just enjoy this beautiful piece of music. This song and video show how brilliant and deep Asake's knowledge and appreciation for the art is. I have learned right here some valuable lessons about some unique African cultures without traveling to these parts.
    The song is a sample of Michel Legris' 'Mo Capitaine' performed by Jason Heerah (it's in Asake's description as well).... so the song is definitely 'sega', like our Mauritian brothers and sisters have said. It also has elements of goumbe as our Senegalese brothers have said...which shows Asake has sought to mix the two, probably seeing the similarity between the two. He also chose to use the Senegalese culture in the video to pay homage to the lebu community.
    The fact that both genres of music from 2 different countries are similar (I might even add that there are similarities to Nigeria's apala music/beat) kinda suggests Africa was ONE before we were separated by borders and it's why our cultures are similar? This is interesting if you think about it. Thank you Asake

      It's not true. You are wrong my dear. The rhythm used in this song is Senegalese and it is called "Gumbé". He comes from an ethnic group called Lébou. This is why the clip was shot in Senegal.

    The popular Nigerian Afrobeat singer has released his first single of the year, 2023 titled "Yoga" a song that reflects the actual Meaning of "Yoga" which is relaxation across the lyrical content, prelude, music video, and element that make up this music. He joined Senegal culture and Yoruba Culture to form "Yoga" this is mind-blowing and amazing, all thanks to Magic sticks for a work well done too. Asake is a creative intentional Singer who clearly understands Music and how to make his listeners subscribe to his sound, all of these qualities made him headline a lot of Shows and made him the talk of the day in 2022 in the Music Industry. I can say that with no doubt Asake has come to stay as I believe he still has a lot in store for us all and I will be here to review every one of his songs that will be released Year. well done Asake, We dey feel you.

      @Barmusic TV The song talks about a woman's husband gone to war. " bienmalere, biemalere pou twa mo zen fam.... "- Too sad for you, young woman...all husbands are at sea, on the boat.
      In the video, there is a lighthouse that were used for boats. "Mo trouve signaux signale...." He saw the lighthouse giving signals that "Bato talapa" the ship is coming...
      The lyrics of Michel Legris' songs are full of imagery which are difficult to translate and are not common in our modern Mauritian creol. He also used some swahili...like "apana wapi...sana". He was an unalphabet but travelled a lot...During the war time he met many Africans and retained some swahali and Arabs words
