@andreaodoll Thats right music is universal my friend.

[judyrael]

Nubians your zik just healed my soul this night

[MrCballos]

Nice song, late in the 90's this song was completely unlisted/broadcasted in France. Knew only by good music listeners..

[darlaspeace]

I loved this song for so long. I've even purchased this album twice. Les Neubians, when you coming to San Diego? Peace and Blessings

[caree1993]

@darlaspeace i know... they need to come out here

[leticiabuckner1]

[cunong77]

[NetxEnigma]

this song Takes Me somewhere Far Away..into that esoteric Zone of LOVE and Hope!

[VeriPrettyGurl]

My mom loved this song and put me on when i was about 12..I was and still am veri in touch with my music .

[albr2930]

Even though I didn't understand a damn word I would play this over and over at the beach late night with the wifey damn memories for real..

[ChristianParch]

My Middle Name is Makeda:)



[meolans84]

ho scoperto oggi questa canzone...fantastica!!!

[akilthepoet]

To andreaodoll; they are singing about The Queen of Sheba, whose African name was Makeda.

[Retroman2000]

Ahhh memories....walking downtown, bright morning of 1998 walking through cityscapes and this song is all you heard downtown...believe me if there was one year i could go back in time to...it would be 1998 all over baby!!!!!!!

[BJ1993ify]

I used to hear this a lot on KJLH in L.A. back in 1998. It was the most requested song on the station according to then Program Director/Music Director Cliff Winston. Heck I also remember hearing it KKBT 92.3 The Beat in 1998. Very smooth & mellow flow from the ladies.

[lil692009]

my mom bought this cd when i was little i loved it even though i didnt understand what they was saying

[colamami313]

@lil692009 that's funny. Same exact situation here. I swear I know every word to every song on here and I speak no french at all.

[georgiafinestpeach]

[evionsols]

Came back from college one day; guess who I see in my living room? Les Nubians; lol man that was awesome. They are really nice girls.

[Ronin1914]

They kind of remind me of a French Zhane.

[montae324]

@Ronin1914 My thoughts exactly!!! I love Les Nubians

[RaiderEleven]

Grammy-nominated "Les Nubians" make French sound so beautiful and sensual! Hélène and Célia Faussart make their "Afro-pean" music float, spin, and swing in what is "the most successful French-language album in decades!"

[4109tina]

I luv this song

[719kai719]

I'm taking French now!

[719kai719]

I recall seeing them live at some club (can't remember the name ) WHEN THEY CAME OUT. I LOVE THIS SONG! ITS SO SENSUAL AND PRETTY! Although it was in French they played it a-lot on regular NY R&B radio!

[remberella]

oh i love this song.

Makeda etait reine, belle et puissante,

Solomon revait de sa peau noire je chantes pour

Raviver les memoires, exhumer les connaissances

Que la spiral du temps efface

La reine de Saba vit en moi,

Makeda vit en moi

[YoBebeMama]

Did you guys know that they sampled this song from the Charles Bronson movie Vigilante??? I was watching it the other night and there is a part where these guys are coming out of the subway and the flute part starts playing. My son said "mom, that sounds like that french song you always listen to" lol

[tcw00]

@YoBebeMama hahaha Wow lol

[kato76109]

@YoBebeMama LOL

[41fevaoaklandyada]

I pay anybody that got this instrumental

[YoBebeMama]

you can get the original song the flute part was sampled from off of the CHarles Bronson move "Vigilante" soundtrack. I did not know they sampled this song until i watched the movie the other night and heard it. It's in the movie.

[juanansi]
