  • @triplearth can you translate the entire song?

  • @lexdiggy Personally no, but I might know somebody who can. Will try ...

  • Linda musica. Como santana...

  • @Tashy2009 I said the same thing. OMG This is intoxicating!

  • @MrRudown78 You are so right. If it was not for the African salves that were brought to latin America, there wouldnt be Salsa, Samba, Mambo and many more.

  • @secretphoenixeyes it's from Guinea, west african country and the guys are singing in Malinka :)

  • @MrRudown78 it's called africando people ...

  • @triplearth this music is from my country! thanks for sharing and showing this!

  • We have such a rich repository to reinvent ourselves with in East African Benga, I challenge Africa's new artists to draw from the well instead of trying to make it rain.

  • @secretphoenixeyes I thought the same...but its crazy to see how many genres came from this style right here...

  • @dmdpro5 Mexican are a mix of Spanish(white) and native central american.
