  • Girl got the pipes...

  • WILD THORNBERRYS! omg stop. i can't even. excuse me while i cry.

  • Wow...this song is really beautiful. Thanks for pasting @Bidybi

  • @meatpackingdistrict  benineses isnt a language. i believe she is singing in Yoruba.

  • This music is so cool .I love this video.

  • Yes... it's true that's a Yoruba song but her Yoruba is not fluent... it's okay..... at least all the Yoruba folk tale music that modern artist fail to sing she is bringing them out. am very glad with this.

  • "Gunnugun i ku lewe, a fa sai da'rugbo?" means, "A vulture does not die young: why will I not grow to a ripe old age?" The language is Yoruba; the sentiments mean, "I am destined to succeed, because I am a lucky person".

  • Very Cool. Two Africans making great music.

  • @lucsho1 Do you understand the words? Is it beninese? Can you post a translation?
