@@malambamukolwe6489 i think the song is in yoruba.... It will be hard not all benines speak yoruba 😂😂😂😂😂 we have like 15 at leats languages going there...
I was here after the Grammy, and I came back after her featuring with Yemi Alade in "Shekere" to comment. Who else is proudly proud to be an African ❤?
Damn,I thought all along that this was from Brenda faso of South Africa 🇿🇦, so this is west Africa music, 90s music that bring beautiful atmosphere and memories in the 90s, it’s even Yoruba language she’s speaking,wow 😮, and she’s Yoruba from Benin republic,just neighboring country from Nigeria 🇳🇬, wow 😯, Yorubas are really good with music and culture wherever they are both in Nigeria,Benin republic, and Caribbean.
An Authentic Benin woman that we love so much. Started listening to her music when I was only 6, now am 36 and am still listening to this masterpiece and her music. Lusaka Zambia 🇿🇲🇿🇲 approves
Waaaah it's 2024 and the music has refused to fade off, started listenibg to this track and Agolo when i was 7 today am 42 still listening. Then the video depicts african mystic nature, some songs will remain around till end of time. Kudos Mama Africa Angelique Kidjo.
I first listen to this song in the BBC Network Africa program. My mom woke me up to get ready for school, then I heard this song and I started dancing. Africa is beautiful. Love from Sierra Leone 🇸🇱
I hate all these noobs that don't know and appreciate good music only to end up ages later saying they are here because of grammy this or grammy that. This woman is a legend way before now.
I was a kid back in Benin 1990. We were proud of Angélique way before the rest of the World. The sound was rich, raw and modern at the same time. Here am I today and witnessing her faithfull to her roots. After 4 decades, she is so dedicated.
We need to actualise Wakanda forever ......Now !!!!!! And teach all of African generations to sing n dance to this timeless , masterpiece s that are the sheer essence of true Africanism...!!!!!!! Time we compiled some African club anthems .....Angelique is very much within this repertoire.......!!!!!!
You are very rigth .when i was in primary school we used to read a passage on Angélique Kidjo in "mon livre unique de français" l m now a woman just imagine
Burna Boy isn’teven close to Angelique. She has been around long before we knew who he was. She also has an ear for music that Burna simply doesn’t. She’s got great vocals and has experimented with styles as did most of the African greats like Hugh Masekela, Fela, Ali Farka Toure, etc. The only people who think BB should have won are people who are ignorant of African music.
I'm from Brasil, a country with a strong african background and influence. After listening to over 20 african songs in a row, i feel some kind of strange, amazing sensation. I feel like i'm finally home.
I'm Nigerian but I love everything about Brasil...from Tais Araujo in film,Ronaldinho and Neymar in football,Adriana Lima in fashion to Iza,Luan Santana and Cassia Eller in music.
I came back here to watch the video again in 2023. I love, the warrior Queen vibes Angelica Kidjo reminds me of. I feel, i was a great warrior Queen in my past life as an African.
Only in the category of Afrofusion. I could give you a catalogue of incredible African songs from each country and you would appreciate how diverse our music is.
I'm a British girl from England therefore I am not African, but that doesn't mean I can't love this song. It's a great song and it's just amazing. I realise that it doesn't matter what colour skin you have or where you are from to like different kinds of music ! Be who you are, not what people want you to be so just be who you want to be. Don't worry about what others think ! -Megan Xx
You are African, your ancestors come from here then migrated centuries ago. So enjoy the vibe !!! And in another way, music is Universal... 2 reasons to enjoy it.
Was 6 years old why in exile in Ivory Coast 🇨🇮 because of my country Liberia's civil war then, used to dance to this music 🎶 with my mom and dad. Happy 2023 with u still enjoying this sound 🎵💯💕💪🙏
Rodrick Edmund Brown I 1st saw this on Jack's Big Music Show, a childrens' music program, and I've loved her since! Beautiful, makes me feel amazing... regardless that I do not understand all of the lyrics. The music, her voice & the overall beauty of the dance, dress & feel, just feels good. ❤
Love from Mexico, I love this song! Just discovered trying to find music from Africa for a multicultural class and found this remarkable track! Greetings and amazing song!
See the Green dress design Angelique is wearing.. Forward to 2015, and these Euro designers cloned it,and said they came out with it first. We always get our style and fashions stolen. AIN'T THAT SOME SHAME.
2023, still listening to this jam! Angelique, even now you deserve a Grammy for this work of art, it just still sounds soooo amazing after all these years...you are an icon, and proud to show your culture to the world. I remember when you drop This bomb...This masterpiece is timeless!❤❤❤
2020 Grammy awards Am a Burna fan . I think the reason why she won over him is because her songs are special so powerful and rich,takes you back to Africa . Well deserved!!Africa is Proud of you !!!
Love this song! It makes me a proud African. Another reason why I like the song is because it matches my personality and every time I hear it I think of myself. Love from Eritrea!!!!
This Song EVERYTHING! It's been my Ringtone for over 10yrs now never heard anything better than this. Proud to be African all the way from Kenya in May 2019
I know I posted here years ago but I just remembered how I stumbled upon this song. Growing up, I suddenly had a lot of nephews (while I was in my early teens) so I babysat a lot. Which meant watching a lot of Nick Jr....and Nick Jr would play this song/show a video for it inbetween shows. Because of that, I have now have teenaged nephews who are interested in world music. So, thank you Nick Jr for exposing kids to different types of music and once again, thank you Angelique
I LISTENED TO THIS SONG IN MY CAR YESTERDAY!!! IF I HADN'T WATCHED JACK'S BIG MUSIC SHOW THAN I WOULDN'T HAVE NEVER KNOWN THIS SONG EXISTED! THANK U NICK JR! 😄😄 AMAZING SONG!
I was a little girl when this song came out, I didn't know what it meant but everytime Papa played it, I'd sing along and dance to it. To this day, I still do Angelique is an amazing woman with breathtaking music #PROUDLY AFRICAN
That was the jam, and its honestly my first time hearing it, I'm not even African straight Hispanic but I love cultural music, especially the "Jams" of tha culture.

Even uganda, it was played on Tv everyday
100 percent true.
I still jam to this masterpiece
Who is watching with me after Her Colabo with Yemi Alade... 50likes plzzz
I'm here in 2020. Angelique deserved the Grammy she just won. She's good.
So you're suggesting that she be celebrated and awarded with a foreign title in a majority white event?
She deserves it she's been around a long time ❤
@@swaysway7044 this song is probably on every throwback mix you download, so she deserves that award... If you are good you are good
Waaaah it's 2024 and the music has refused to fade off, started listenibg to this track and Agolo when i was 7 today am 42 still listening.
Then the video depicts african mystic nature, some songs will remain around till end of time.
Kudos Mama Africa Angelique Kidjo.
This woman hv single handily taken Africa across the Globe with her beautiful songs...Since I was a kid I’ve loved her music till now 😘😘
I first listen to this song in the BBC Network Africa program. My mom woke me up to get ready for school, then I heard this song and I started dancing. Africa is beautiful. Love from Sierra Leone 🇸🇱
I hate all these noobs that don't know and appreciate good music only to end up ages later saying they are here because of grammy this or grammy that. This woman is a legend way before now.
Yasir Sadiq you can't really say. I've always loved her songs but grammy made me know her name. however, it is undisputable that she's a legend
I was a kid back in Benin 1990. We were proud of Angélique way before the rest of the World. The sound was rich, raw and modern at the same time. Here am I today and witnessing her faithfull to her roots. After 4 decades, she is so dedicated.
They were not part of this world and shame on most of them

In 2024, I'm watching...cool beats n vibes
Year 1990 i was 9 years old when this song came out . Today i am 38 and still listening to it .I love Angélique Kidjo.
akelandry1 came out 96
I was about to say ain't no way this came out in 1990 lol I wasn't even born yet lmao. 96 sounds about right.

I was in my 30s...now 60....it sure has stood the test of times
Awwwww Mama Africa!

Beautiful song. I remember watching the video on tv when i was 12 years. Great song
Angelique kidjo we Nigerians love u. Please groom burna boy and Yemi Alade. Listening since 1990
Who ever produced that song deserve a lifetime achievement. Pure beauty. Angelique Kidjo is a LEGEND
Straight talk! ❤
When I was in nursery school, we danced to this song as part of our class presentation for the concert :) :)
Hahaha I was in primary school
Lovely
Are you Tanzanian
You would have looked cute
@@arthurdonnietello9691 She's a Ugandan
Never knew she was the lady who sang this beautiful song year's back. I thought BB was robbed. She deserved it👍
The Grammy wasn't given for this song or her oldies. I think you should listen to her recent album. I have, it's beautiful and empowering.
Burna Boy isn’teven close to Angelique. She has been around long before we knew who he was. She also has an ear for music that Burna simply doesn’t. She’s got great vocals and has experimented with styles as did most of the African greats like Hugh Masekela, Fela, Ali Farka Toure, etc. The only people who think BB should have won are people who are ignorant of African music.
@@rimun5235 great review she's on another level

I'm from Brasil, a country with a strong african background and influence. After listening to over 20 african songs in a row, i feel some kind of strange, amazing sensation. I feel like i'm finally home.
welcome home
This is from the Yoruba culture which has a major presence in Brazil
I'm Nigerian but I love everything about Brasil...from Tais Araujo in film,Ronaldinho and Neymar in football,Adriana Lima in fashion to Iza,Luan Santana and Cassia Eller in music.

That's what the African spirit is all about. That soulfulness is what African music is all about.
