| His voice is amaizing..pure voice.. |
| just went from an 8 to a 9, only one more move until Bill makes a goddess like status................just sayin' |
| First time I've heard this....WOW!! This is REALLY nice!! Undecided betweeen 8 and 9 so settled for 8 for now, reserving, of course, the option to up-it later. Thanks, Bill, for exposing me to stuff I probably wouldn't hear otherwise. |
| Just did 2 things: Turn up the volume Bumped my score from 9 to 10 And now... relax and enjoy :) |
| I don't have any such problem as the previous poster. This song is exquisitely beautiful to my ears. It's one of those I wish would go on for twenty minutes or more. I can just close my eyes and groove along. It doesn't matter in the slightest that I haven't a clue what they're singing about. |

| Salif Keita - Yamore, Live-solo-acoustic Концерт в Union Chapel Hall в 2002 году "Salif Keita, singing in Malinke and French, expresses his feelings for his beloved one and exhorts her not to leave him because he cannot live without her. Cesaria, singing in Cape-Verdean Portuguese, speaks more generally about faith in progress, peace, struggle and resistance for a better future where all torments and tempests will be over." nakyriaz "Delicious fusion of Cultures through wich three voices of excellence sing true feellings and speak about Love to all human kind. Should we learn from Africa and we would live on a better World." osintrense |

There's also a bit of portuguese (definitely), and I think I hear English. Right? Also, man how I love when RP introduces me to great African artists like this guy. |
