I whim away, I whim away, like a poster writes. Never knew that this part of the lyrics meant something
But that song pulled a few strings in me, espcially everything before the end part.
Great swingtime timing, even when done in a sequencer.
Blown away so to say.
Talking about Mariam Makeba, here's a nice Lion also:

Interesting discussion following it: a century old classic or written in -in the end- in 1920 by a Solomon Linda.
When a 'King' dies, the Lion goes to sleep, so goes the tradition.
It'll be just about song rights I guess.
There are more of those 'classics'.
Fishing in Africa, I have something special for ya.
African ladies voice band Zap Mama, song Mupepe', hardly 3.5 minute, you probably know Zap Mama and/or the song.
Recorded in Brussels, Belgium, 1993, leading track on the album Dventures in Afropea.
As known Belgium was the former colonizer of Kongo, the root of superlady and
complete woman Marie Daulnes, who's having having the lead here:

Saw a few nice interviews with her on YT, and lifeshows in the States where she lived for quite some time.
She realy is like she uses her voice, you can hear every facet of her personality by het voice.
Listen with headphones to hear what wonderstuff she does with her voice, up untill the end
At 1:07-1:08 you'll hear a saxophone, without her even intending to.
Even her breath taking at 2:17 is eh...breathtaking
You should hear it in full audio, as the producer knew what to do with so much vocal intensity.
I suffer from shivering, goosebumps, even a few tears of pure delight, which is quite unique on it's own, as my device as dance music adept is 'no content please'
