I listened to a lot of Sunny Adé and stuff in the past because of my folks, but apart from that I never got into our music.

I came in here to hate (im half congolese btw) because i hate african music always had to hear that rubbish shyt with the same damn guitar sound in every track growing up, and my mom was engaged to a famous singer, but this track right here was real nice. them drums were crisp. :whew: and she's beautiful.

the only african music I listen too, are the new age stuff like Kwaito from South Africa. Its electronic music from africa

its starts off slow and the tempo speeds up.
