Love her, love this song, and love her acknowledgment of Miriam Makeba at the beginning. Brings back any fond memories of long flights back from Africa not being able to sleep except to have Angelique's music on loop and finally drift off embraced in the arms of her soulful voice. 💕🌺

[@toyadiinae9800]

Could you help me, then, please? I went to Google and it says that she's saying, "Ashè é Maman Afirika, Nishè o", so could you say what she's saying in Yoruba, please? Google Translator doesn't make sense. (I want to perform this song at church for our Black History Program.)

[@warijely2354]

Angel's voices may Africa ave on you all. Mama Angelique kidjo , more song in the same way with rihana, shakira, usher, akon ......., we need more .

[@zoomkvo7zoomkvo797]

Angélique KIDJO,JE SOUHAITE UN JOUR ETRE LA FIERTÉ DE MON PAYS AMEN si t'es d'accord valide👍💖👍👍👍💪

[@brigittebarambesha3520]

tu chante bien angélique je t aime

[@assibaapovo9024]

Lov u both for life. C' est l'Afrique qui gagne. Peace & Love

[@ADE-of-LAGOS]

"Ese Mama Africa" translates "Thanks Mother Africa". The first two words are Yoruba words (Ese: thanks; Mama: mother). Yoruba is spoken mainly in south-west Nigeria, and across parts of Benin Republic (where Angela Kidjo come from), as well as in diaspora communities in Brazil, Cuba, and others. I believe without Europe incursion into Africa, there would have been a huge empire today called Dahomey. This empire cuts across a huge part of west Africa in ancient past.

[@andykaggwa7233]

How u de Ade

[@agnesnkanae8723]

African languages are similar..In my tribe maasai (from kenya) we say "ashe" to mean thanks.

[@ADE-of-LAGOS]

@@agnesnkanae8723 Wao! That's interesting.

[@dinasmolenskaya6381]

Merci beaucoup pour vos explications sur l'origine des mots et de cette chanteuse remarquable et egalement sur l'histoire de la Dahomey. Mon salute de Moscou!

[@Olhamo]

Thank you! I felt it, but I appreciate you translating!

[@maximuscyrus2407]

[@wishiwasnotthisintroverted]

[@olamoses5421]

@Toya it means thank you mama Africa in yoruba language

[@jumlexf.7042]

She's actually speaking Benin Republic language which has Yoruba language in it. But she is literally saying "Thank you Mama Africa"😁

[@crownade4482]

Ase!

[@tangledupinblue99]

I saw her with Jimmy Buffet and then she did a solo and she blew me away. she's very awesome!
