The subject of today’s Global Hit is music with a message. Simple messages really. They’re sung by Malian musician Khaira Arby. One message is about her love for the city Timbuktu. That’s reflected in the album title ‘Timbuktu Tarab.’ The other message Khaira Arby wants to convery is women’s rights. Particularly women’s rights in Mali. Download MP3
