Origin of the song :
 « In 1952, there was in Kankan a man called Salimoun who was a notorious drunken. The fact was all the more scandalous as that man was a Serifou, hailing from a great Moslem clan ; that clan dates back, following traditions, to the prophet Mohammed ; the jelilú sang the so bad ruin of Salimoun Serifou dolomina !, «the drunken Serifou !» »
source : Extrait de SORY CAMARA, Gens de la parole, Essai sur la condition et le rôle des griots dans la société malinké, ACCT- Karthala, Paris, 1992 [bibliography] - translation .
The song is the elegiac transcription of the complaints of Salimun's poor and dishonoured wife who moans about her husband's scandalous way of living.
