Just want to share a nice African song with everyone..

This song was released in 1987 and is a part of the album "Akwaba Beach".
Sung by : Guinean singer Mory Kanté.

Lyrics :

Bi sounkouroun lou la donkgna, ah, ah
Bi kamberen lou la donkegna, ah, ah
I madji I ma yl
I kanan n'bila nara ro

N'bo n'bolo bila
Kanfalani yana sara le ila
Gnin kisse gbela serra le ils

Ykk nimo y k y k
K woy boli lal
N'na doni kassi kan

Eh eh
Ny n'ta soron akono mi ma ta I yonf
Wo dn t soron lonklna
Sini Mory la diyand

Timba bara wouloukounta
Souba ma kata I yala
Ah sara lila

Ykk nimo y k y k
Djely mousso ni kdjou to wara bo
M'ba mofila tma yan fou

^ That song was quite surprising to me, IndianClassicalMusic ; I'm more familiar with the songs that Mory Kante did years ago with the Rail Band, like this one:-

Actually, artists like Mory Kante are more usually discussed (if they're discussed at all) in the Country, Folk and World section of MB. That's where you'll find this excellent source of African artists, if you are interested in some other recommendations:-
