about

Like “Paren Legba,” this song is full of langaj, and is almost impossible to translate. It asks people to cooperate. When we work together, we can accomplish many things. The Asakivle Meets Austerlitz album itself is a good example of this; it’s a collaboration whose sum is greater than its parts.

lyrics

Lamesi”
(Traditional; Dahome rhythm)

Men Lamèsi mande wèmen wanyoleee
Granmèsi wèmensi mentò wanyole manyèmen.
