Major Lazer has breathed new life into Amadou & Mariam‘s “Mogolu,” infusing it with an electrifying Afro-electro twist that’s crafted specifically for energising club nights. The remix features the trio—Diplo, Walshy Fire, and Ape Drums—intensifying the track with robust, dancefloor-ready beats that maintains the original’s rich, soulful melodies and the unique cultural vibrancy for which Amadou & Mariam are renowned. This dynamic blend not only elevates the song’s energy but also enhances its fundamental message.

“Mogolu,” meaning “the people” in Bambara, is a standout track composed by Manu Chao, featured on Amadou & Mariam’s latest album La Vie Est Belle, released by Because Music. The song celebrates human connection, unity, and the vibrant diversity of cultures. With its compelling lyrics and infectious rhythms, “Mogolu” invites listeners to come together in a shared dance of joy and unity, celebrating the diverse paths and experiences that forge deeper human bonds.
