Lyrics: "N'Teri" (My Friend) --------------------------------------- Dear friend, God has spoilt you If I were in your place, I would have thanked him a hundred times over But you know only too well, he is capable of everything You, women to whom he gave the power to procreate You will one day have a child who will be judged by his fellow beings They will say that he has charisma, that he has personality But these are things one observes I am satisfied and I will follow you everywhere because I love you The grandsons of "Kamadian Camara" have honoured me I am satisfied with this good faith Drissa Camara has put me on a pedestal, I am hopeful The great Sylla family in Kayes, has too high a regard for me I love you and I will follow you everywhere You, Amadou and everyone, have too much respect for me You met me with a smile; God will return it to you You grasped .... + Informações

Lyrics: "Africa" --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The sons of Africa wanted to walk An adventure that took them far away from the frontiers of the continent An adventure that taught them how things work elsewhere Before, we welcomed the whole world with our Innate sense of hospitality, in dignity and nobility We walked but when we wanted to enter their door Those in Ceuta told us: "We don't have your innate sense of hospitality" The sons of Africa returned home, saying: Better an ugly woman than an empty room Because they'd heard that invaluable help had been offered to them there But they've had enough of empty promises Poverty will be Africa's destiny Corruption will be Africa's destiny Governments will always get stuck in the sand Africa is destined for war, for genocide Until the United Nations in their development .... + Informações

One cannot overstate the influence Africa has had on music of the world. Jazz, blues, rock and roll, gospel, salsa, samba, funk, hip-hop, reggae, zydeco, zouk - the list of genres which have roots in African music is endless. Africa is home to a myriad of styles, and it remains one of the most creative places for music on the planet. Tradition still plays an important role in today's African music, yet influences from around the world are making themselves increasingly heard. Ironically, many of the foreign music styles that have been most influential on today's African music have African origins. They are merely long lost relatives returning home. Once you have listened to Africa we hope you are inspired to explore further the richness and variety of African music. A portion of Putumayos proceeds from the sale of this CD is donated to www.concernusa.org in support of their efforts to make positive and sustainable changes in the lives of families worldwide living on a dollar or less per day.. + Informações
