Tekere
Tekere means clap your hands. The song is about jealousy, about too much jealousy which can easily turn into maliciousness. It is about accepting one's situation. Keita uses e.g. the image of a griot whom one can give money and he will sing, and clap for your woman. However that woman will then follow the one who claps her.
