I’ve got a big crush for African music and its offspring, whether it's Afro-American, Afro-Cuban or Afro-Brazilian. As a result I have some African records, mostly compilation. I listen quite often to them, but for some raison they never make it to these pages. Since I’m trying to do something about the usual ‘last in / last out’ principle lately, I cuffed up a couple of favourite tracks from all over the continent (mostly from West Africa and The Congo), from various decades and various compilations and records.
May this sort of inverted raindance bring some African sun. Thank god it's not Christmas yet.

This track was one of the first songs I posted on this blog, way back in March 2006 together with some other songs, but the earlier version was from a tape copy of a record and this one is a ripped CD version. Not from the same album (still desperately looking for it) but from a compilation called Golden Afrique. The sound is better but this version lacks that great and funny introduction to the original song from the live concert in Paris it was taken from.
I also have a version of it by Miriam Makeba, so as a form of tribute I added her version as well.
