Idi Sarki :  Man ni go?

Idi Sarki presented his first solo album "Mane Nigo" in Niamey Niger in August 2006. He was member of the group Djoro G with Moc Ice. No website is available. Man ni go (written as Mane Nigo) means where are you. It is a song in Zarma, French and even some English. The song is about love (bakasine), more devastating than war and as well simple as sophisticated.

Refrain of song [1]
 
man ni go, man ni go Where did you go, where did you go?
man ni go, fundi baka, man ni go Where did you go, love of my live, where did you go?
man ni go, man ni go Where did you go, where did you go?
man ni go, fundi baka, man ni go Where did you go, love of my live, where did you go?
man ni go, fundi baka, Where did you go, love of my live, where did you go?
   
fundi baka means something as love of my live. The word fundi means breath of live, baka is the definitive form of bako meaning beloved.
