@asterchereka it's called sampling, and K'Naan has sampled several songs, including this and Yèné Felagoté.

this man's singing talent is right up there with ANY opera virtuoso who has ever lived! in fact, i am more impressed by him, because the smallest interval a traditional opera singer has to deal with is a minor 2nd(half-step), and those can actually be quite difficult for an untrained singer! but tilahun eats half-steps for breakfast!! it's absolutely amazing how precisely he controls his voice to deliver a clear, sharp, yet haunting semi-tonal melody...thanks, tilahun, for all the wonderful 2nz.

thats great, heard k'naan america first now listening to this. I love seeing where samples have come from
