the androgynous voice is the amazing Cape Verdean queen, Cesaria Evora.

Well now that we have that memorized, lets move right along...

Ha ha, yes I'm listening it the 2ndtime (download) its getting a bit simple, repetitive the 2nd time, none the less pleasant to my ears but not to often, once every 3 months i guess.

There are two persons singing (besides the backing vocals). First one is male and second is female.

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. {#Clap}

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

Portugese, more likely.

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.
