DJ Snake Drops 'Patience,' a Cinematic Reimagining of Amadou & Mariam's Iconic 'Sabali'
DJ Snake has unveiled 'Patience', a stunning new music video that reimagines Amadou & Mariam's beloved 2008 track 'Sabali' into a soul-stirring meditation on migration, identity, and heritage. Shot in Senegal and directed by Valentin Guiod, the short film stars acclaimed French actor Omar Sy alongside cameos from Amadou & Mariam themselves—marking one of the duo's final appearances following Amadou's recent passing. Blending striking visuals with emotional depth, 'Patience' tells the story of a young man's journey across borders, capturing both the beauty and heartbreak of displacement. 'Each time, I try to explore new inspirations,' DJ Snake said. 'I'd never really touched on West Africa, and this time, it all came together naturally. What's funny is, 'Sabali' means patience.' The video has already made waves on the global festival circuit, winning top honors at the Berlin Music Video Awards, Aesthetica Short Film Festival, and Kinsale Sharks. More than a visual companion, 'Patience' stands as a political and cultural statement—deeply personal for Snake, the son of Algerian immigrants, and Omar Sy, whose roots trace back to Senegal and Mauritania.
