Ali Farka Touré e Toumani Diabaté -- Hawa Dolo

This song was made by Habib Koite, a famous singer from Mali, a north western country in Africa.
In Mandingo language, we call SIRA the first born daughter in the family. SIRA as well as each member of the family has an important role to play. She is the one showing the good exemple to the young ones, and her brothers and sisters education rely on her own somehow.
In this song, Habib Koite pays tribute to the SIRA (first daughters) and sing their love, their kindness, in order to show them their importance and incite them to even do better.
