That song is not a traditional Djole song. Mamady Keita came up with
it. The words are a mixture of languages and means something like:
"Play the sicco drums." It is refering to the square frame drums that
this rhythm is traditionally played on.

Djole is originally from Sierra Leone and there are a few recordings
out with the original songs in Temne language (of which there are
many). There are also songs in Susu which are sung with the rhythm in
Guinea's coastal region.
