Famadè Korobo

F Famadè Korobo is a Bambara rhythm that warns against telling the secrets of the prince, because you will get in trouble. However, you should not just tell the secrets of others (less prominent, friends, poor). You should therefore always apply this respect for the royal. Fama = royal (family), dè = son of, Famade = prince. The song was sung in Djoula.
