Dave Matthews, Trey, & Orchestra Baobab - "Bul Ma Miin" Live (2004):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBm_PqFIyJM

"Yes, they did play Bouncing Around the Room. That was a fun song. Dave & Trey traveled to Senegal and did a performance there. There is an entire documentary on video available that includes that performance. I highly recommend seeing it."

I have always felt there was a little more "World Beat" music played on RP than I would like......this is one that I would prefer be replaced by something from another genre - unlistenable after the first 30 seconds.........

I tryly enjoy ethnic world music but this guys voice is a little too much over imposing over everything else..

I like world music but this is really derivative and repetitive. Mute.

I like "world music" , but this is more like Bul Ma Crap!
Please to lay off the subtitle stuff.

Long live ignorance! It really can bring some joy.
I don't believe in coincidences... I have no idea what the text is about ( ), but the tune is the same as in Russian ~150-years-old folk dance melody "Gipsy Girl". Compare with the song by Vladimir Vysotsky "My Gipsy Song" (he took the music for his genious verses (the same song in French))

You hit the nail on the head! Couldn't agree more. :nodhead:

could not necessarily call this a favourite song but i do appreciate hearing some African music. As a relatively new listener, i have been lamenting the lack of it on RP. thanks for putting me right ...

I started off quite liking this, but after what felt like the 20th minute I started losing the will to live.

I like to think I'm an open-minded (and open eared!) person, and I do like "world" music, and indeed I like this music, but this guy's voice just grates on me :(

Orchestra Baobab is cool, and their record covers are cool too. So there.

I like it!

Like a lot of African music, the singing/melody in this song is not that special, but I love the rythm and guitars.
Oh, and the saxophones too!

Some "World" music is good, this is not.
