I have no idea what words this lady is singing, (which probably puts me in the same boat as 99% of RP listeners), BUT, I loved the song just the same. That alone, is enough to rate a song a solid "8" in my humble judgement, and who knows, I might learn Swahili some day, and bump it up to a "9".
Very nice, relaxing song! Wonder if nobody commented it since 11 years ago as I could swear that I've heard it not so long ago here?
Have to correct Bill's comment "Khadja Nin from Burundi, southern Africa" there.
First off, Burundi is not quite southern Africa, but most of the time considered to be situated in central Africa.
Secondly, although Khadja Nin was born in Burundi, she's been residing in Belgium for over 20 years now.
starts with a very late 80's synth drum pattern... pleasant but not fantastic.
Sadly, anything involving Burundi makes me think of the one Eddie Izzard sketch.
