On Thursday, DJ Snake launched the music video for his new song “Patience,” a personal project with a
a message of advocacy on the plight of migrants starring “Lupin’s” Omar Sy .
The track is a reimagining of West African musical duo Amadou & Mariam’s celebrated 2008 song “Sabali.”
“I used to listen to it on repeat,” DJ Snake told Variety via email. “One day, I played a loop from an edit I had been working on for my team, and everyone felt the same thing: this was something special. That moment sparked the beginning of ‘Patience.’
