Reworking Amadou & Mariam’s iconic track Sabali, DJ Snake premieres new track Patience with a cinematic music video directed by Valentin Guiod – released shortly after Amadou Bagayoko’s passing. Shot in Senegal and featuring cameos by French actor Omar Sy and Amadou & Mariam themselves, the extended visual takes an epic voyage through the Sub-Saharan landscape to shed light on the realities of migration, capturing lead character Moudou’s resilience through his exodus and the migratory journey that follows.
Taken from the Bambara word Sabali – translated as both ‘patience’ and ‘immortality’, Patience explores the struggle for love and place by lensing migration stories from a human perspective, carrying a powerful message of advocacy between the hope for what comes next and the memory of what came before.
