Bonjour!

Today, I’m taking you on a journey to the heart of West Africa: the incredible and beautiful couple that is Amadou and Mariam!

This famous powerful couple rose from Bamako all the way to global stardom in the early 2000s, with fantastic collaborations with artists such as Manu Chao, Cerrone, Damon Albarn, to name a few - and hits such as “Sabali,” “Sete,” “Sénégal Fast Food,” and “La Vie Est Belle”.

Life may not be beautiful everywhere, but the track “La Vie Est Belle” serves as a reminder that beauty can be found if you choose to see it!

Merci @hotelsamourparis for having us!
