Angelica Kidjo... I am back here in 2024 listening to you. I don't, know if it's just me but I kinda love the way you sang it than the original version. ❤

Originally composed by Fadhili Williams a Kenyan Malaika has remained to be the most popular song in Africa over the years

[@amaseric9324]

it's a Tanzanian song just because recording studios were closed in Tanzania during Ujamaa era and some of Tanzanian artists moved to Kenya doesn't mean all the songs recorded there belong to Kenya

[@samwelgasaya1213]

The lyrics were written by a Tanzanian

[@tonimkenya900]

[@Veritas2233]

Why don't we hear these beautiful voices in Europe and the rest of the world?

[@uffesorensen9040]

Simply because we "pale faces" think that we are the best, so therefor we dont want to listen to the voices of our forefathers!

[@islandgal2583]

Thank goodness for internet - now we don’t hv to be bombarded with the others 👍🏾😉

[@pabloplato]

we can hear them and we do, but they require more effort to find and listen to here in the western world than the typical passive music listener is willing to do (ie; turning onto the clearest biggest radio stations in town, or hitting play on a "curated" playlist on spotify). check your local independent radio stations, college radio, cultural stations, daytime programing on music tv channels that may offer a weekly show that caters to world music. it isn't enough, but if you search and put effort into your music listening, you will be rewarded.

[@purebreed9695]

Bcos u racist idiots try to paint negative images of Africa all the time.hope ur question was answered

[@uffesorensen9040]

@@purebreed9695 Well I dont totally agree with you. First of all we are not all racist, and second - if you guys stay stuck in the past, nothing will change...and calling yourself "Pure Breed" doesnt help a lot. For the record: There is nothing negative with Africa - but with some of your leaders - as there is with some of the leaders in my part of the world...Humans all comes from Africa - dont ever forget that!
