5) With the passing of Amadou Bagayoko last week, it feels fitting to share an example of the brilliant #music of #AmadouEtMariam, the duo of Amadou and his wife Mariam Doumbia. In 2005, they released "Sénégal Fast Food," a song about the challenges of seeking a better life through #migration, with guest artist and producer #ManuChao. #ThreeMinuteThursday #3MT #Mali #France #Spain youtu.be/J43T8rEOg-I?si=hnRPSF

Doesn't fit the Jukebox theme but I want to share an example of #ManuChao being awesome.

A psychiatric hospital in Argentina has a radio station run by the patients. It's called Radio La Colifata.
Manu Chao got together with them and recorded an album to fundraise for the hospital.
The music is joyful, funny, deep, and sad at the same time. It has the voices and words of the people from the hospital being so genuine and vulnerable... It is a true gem.
