[bikelove4ever]

where is this band from? great beat, don't ever stop making salsa , congrats to africando

[Teddyb1939]

I love the Khalid original but this is also a magic version of this great song.Another great track Idamawatu.

[jaazzzman]

Agreed. Definitely sad. Their usual argument to not pass on cultural background (including language) is to make their kids blend better into society. I personally believe that there has to be a way to do both (integrating while keeping that family heritage alive).

[obeolojumeji]

Someone wrote that a person who was not Hispanic could not get into or understand the culture. Many of us who were not born in that culture grew up with them from childhood and learned it along our own culture. My only regret is that they made such an effort to speak English that I didn't learn much Spanish. Now, those I grew up with refuse to teach their children and grandchildren the language and culture that their own parents tried so hard to keep alive in them. I feel that is lamentable.

[melekmegumi]

This is my favorite salsa song!

[omegamuzica]

Great version! The original was by Khalid Hadj Ibrahim (otherwise known as Khalid) from Algeria.

[pajaroalcatraz]

La cancion se trata de un profeta de 54 años que se desposo con una niña de 9 años que se llamada aicha.

La edad de aicha fue muy preocupante para los musulmanes que denunciaron al profeta por haber tenidos relaciones sexuales con una niña tan pequeña.

De esta situación sacarón este tema..

[jannikbaby]

schöner song, noch besser von khaled....

[rico20052008]

THE ORIGINAL SONG IS FROM CHECK KHALEB CALLED AISHA

[fredyshow1]

este tema es una version muy antigua de un cantante argelino,que fue asesinado y es un verdadero idolo en argelia....esta version salsera no es nada mala,iguala al original,enhorabuena africando

[osadia13]

@fredyshow1

Esta cancion fué esrita por Jean Jacques Golman para Cheb Khaled, quien esta vivo y cantando mejor que nunca.

Te refieres a Cheb Hasni, un kabil (Argelia) quien es el Rey del Ray, aun despues de su asesinato,

[koramy1963]

[Liekeee88]

[yiwenmeister]

I love this song so much, but I never know who sing this song. Now I know. Africando makes the best salsa songs.

[crashAshdene]

Lol i keep listening to this song, in the beginning i thought these salsa songs were not cool, but once you listen a few times, its actually Very nice music, Good song, nicely made :D <3

[elprincipemoran]

que gran grupo la verdad es uno de mis favoritos africando

[LEGIONARIO1970]

Let's not forget that cuban salsa has its roots in Africa!!!

[jjlljjll]

Actually, salsa is an American invention, and is not actually a music form or a dance. Salsa is nothing but Cuban "son" renamed and given a more urbanized makeover.

As Tito Rivera sand on the album Los Heroes: "Si te hablan de la salsa, mentira, se llama el son!"

In any case, the rhythms are African, but the melodies and instruments are largely European in origin.

[ramon66]

Who cares??!! Just enjoy the darn thing.

[jjlljjll]

Lots of people care. Musicology is an important thing, and full of facts that we would do well to remember. Of course, the most important thing is to feel the music. But we need to know its history too.

[jdthran]

Damn right!! Give someone who has talent already an extra tool or insiration and look how it flourishes. I love Africando for putting together a group of very accomplished musicians in their own right, and create pure dope. What can America compare with? (Traveling Wilburries)? excuse me I just threw up in my mouth, just a little bit.

[jjlljjll]

A little self-editing here - it was not Tito "Rivera" who made that quote, but Tito "Gomez".

[IbnKush]

@LEGIONARIO1970 Not only salsa!

[salsalemania]

@LEGIONARIO1970 Salsa has it's roots in Europe, America and Africa. But rarely to not at all in Senegal ;-)

[ladeliciosa244]

@salsalemania

Salsa has its roots in senegal and all of west africa...thats where the drums beats derive from. Without the drums would salsa be salsa, i dont think so. Salsa has more african roots compared to europe and all that other gibberish you're talking about.

[rorygilmore222]

c'est cool en afriquen!

[sermineitorrr]

I love this song! Perfecto

[Danger1Boy]

very cool, greetings from Bosnia :)

[pericolokillo]

yo siempre he dicho que la salsa no tiene fronteras,,,

[heartbjork]

My fav song in the world right now. And Africando knows how to do it right. !

[rorygilmore222]

mon aussi!

[kenerymouminia]

Great salsa rythm; big up to the Senegalese & diaspora music. Another proof of how african artists can transcend in all kind music...

[22jan51]

This song was released by Khaled now it's also great . Congratulations

[andrexper]

Africando es excelente
