Taken from the album _Musow Danse,_ out 16 February 2023
Like a bow pulled back with a fist and a sharp-angled elbow, the supergroup Les Amazones d’Afrique take aim at gender inequality and, fortified by an ancient-to-future soundscape co-crafted with producer Jacknife Lee, shoot their flaming arrows. Six glorious voices, six mighty queens — Alvie Bitemo, Dobet Gnahoré, Kandy Guira, Mamani Keïta, Nneka, Fafa Ruffino — declaim in a range of languages of the freedom and joy that comes with speaking out, and of the power of unity and ally-ship. Female warriordom has never sounded so fierce — or so danceable.
’Flaws’ features Mamani Keïta and Fafa Ruffino on lead vocals, and carries the simple message that the perfect person does not exist. We all have our flaws and imperfections, and we should embrace them.
Lyrics: Mamani Keïta & Fafa Ruffino

*LYRICS*
English Translation
(Original language below)
No one has more flaws than an outgoing person
People with flaws carry them everywhere they go
(They say you heard us, you get it?)
No one has more flaws than a chatty person
People with flaws carry them everywhere they go
(They say you heard us, you get it?)
No one has more flaws than a poor person
(They say you heard us, you you heard us?)
Chorus:
Everyone has flaws
People with flaws
Carry them everywhere they go (x2)
Brothers, let’s reflect on this for a moment
No one has more flaws than a traveler
People with flaws carry them everywhere they go
(They say you heard us?)
Brothers, let’s accept the accusations for a moment
No one has more flaws than an outgoing person
People with flaws carry them everywhere they go
(They say you heard us?)
I travelled through the whole city of Bamako
Everyone there has their own flaws
I travelled through the whole city of Mopti
Everyone there has their own flaws
I travelled through the whole of France
Everyone there has their own flaws
I travelled through the whole of Europe
Everyone there has their own flaws
Chorus (x4)
Get up, get up, get up, get up, RISE!
Get up, get up, get up, RISE!
They say you heard us, and you like it?
No matter what, we’re gonna make it
They say you heard us, and you like it?
No matter what, YOU HEARD US?
Chorus (x4)
Everyone has flaws
I say everyone has flaws
Everyone has flaws
I say everyone has flaws
