Issa Bagayogo, often called Techno Issa in home country of Mali, merges his small town style with electronic beats to produce a sound that is rather unique. Until he met French DJ Yves Wernert, Issa just played the kamele n’goni, a Malian guitar, and sang. His failures to succeed before this meeting motivated a drug habit that motivated his wife to leave him. Shocked into action, he cleaned up and Yves Wernert taught him how to produce electronic music. Diarabi describes his pain without his wife in a way that I have almost crashed my car twice while singing along to. The child chorus in the song sings the lyrics
Oh my love when I slept without you
I knew that your company is happiness.
Well, that's what the lyrics are when they are awkwardly translated into English.
