Angelica Kidjo... I am back here in 2024 listening to you. I don't, know if it's just me but I kinda love the way you sang it than the original version. ❤

[@nanadebrah7866]

When I was a baby, my loving mother used to sing this song for me and I performed this when I was 7 years in basic school... I'm now 21 and anytime I hear this song, just can't hold my tears.... Full of memories😭😭😭😭 I love you Mummy

Ich bin 76 Jahre alt und habe noch nie so etwas schönes gehört, wie diese Fassung "Malaika" gesungen von Angelique Kidjo ! Mir standen die Tränen in den Augen! Diese Liedfassung hat mich vom Kopf bis in den Fuß elektrisiert und zutiefst berührt! Wunder-wunderschön!!!

[@americaandrussia9688]

Her voice nearly made me cry, the way she uses her african language is making me want to learn my language

Lyrics "In Swahili"
Malaika, nakupenda Malaika
Malaika, nakupenda Malaika
Ningekuoa mali we, ningekuoa dada
Nashindwa na mali sina we
Ningekuoa Malaika
Nashindwa na mali sina we
Ningekuoa Malaika
Pesa zasumbua roho yangu
Pesa zasumbua roho yangu
Nami nifanyeje, kijana mwenzio
Nashindwa na mali sina we
Ningekuoa Malaika
Nashindwa na mali sina we
Ningekuoa Malaika
Kidege, hukuwaza kidege
Kidege, hukuwaza kidege
Ningekuoa mali we, ningekuoa dada
Nashindwa na mali sina
We Ningekuoa Malaika
Nashindwa na mali sina
We Ningekuoa Malaika
Malaika, nakupenda Malaika
Malaika, nakupenda Malaika
Ningekuoa mali we, ngekuoa dada
Nashindwa na mali sina we
Ningekuoa Malaika
Nashindwa na mali sina we
Ningekuoa Malaika

I don't understand one letter or a word but I cry every single time I listen to this song.

It's not only about the voice, but who delivers the content of the songs.

[@strong4520]

Amazing. I was taught this song at the age of 4 for a school play, (I had no idea what I was saying, it’s not my language). I’m now past 50 and I still remember and love this song. Music is amazing.

[@dennistv5661]

African is blessed. She's everything and more that Africa stands for

[@EricGoetzMusic]

This wonderful song has been performed by so many legendary singers throughout the years. But, in my mind, Kidjo's interpretation is the definitive version. This is an astoudingly gorgeous performance.

[@NeetzBeats]

Gorgeous performance that I often come back to because it reminds me of my dad, he stumbled upon it on tv one day and was excited to show us all

[@bosslady5464]

Nobody has a voice like this Queen's.

[@mollyvick5719]

Angelique, thank you for singing this for us. I never get tired of hearing it, al-most as many times as you've sung it.

[@goodboi9821]

Originally composed by Fadhili Williams a Kenyan Malaika has remained to be the most popular song in Africa over the years

[@amaseric9324]

it's a Tanzanian song just because recording studios were closed in Tanzania during Ujamaa era and some of Tanzanian artists moved to Kenya doesn't mean all the songs recorded there belong to Kenya

[@samwelgasaya1213]

The lyrics were written by a Tanzanian

[@tonimkenya900]

​@@amaseric9324 😂😂😂😂 was fadhili Williams a Tanzanian really?he was a Kenyan born in taita

[@Veritas2233]

Why don't we hear these beautiful voices in Europe and the rest of the world?

[@uffesorensen9040]

Simply because we "pale faces" think that we are the best, so therefor we dont want to listen to the voices of our forefathers!

[@islandgal2583]

Thank goodness for internet - now we don’t hv to be bombarded with the others 👍🏾😉

[@pabloplato]

we can hear them and we do, but they require more effort to find and listen to here in the western world than the typical passive music listener is willing to do (ie; turning onto the clearest biggest radio stations in town, or hitting play on a "curated" playlist on spotify). check your local independent radio stations, college radio, cultural stations, daytime programing on music tv channels that may offer a weekly show that caters to world music. it isn't enough, but if you search and put effort into your music listening, you will be rewarded.

[@purebreed9695]

Bcos u racist idiots try to paint negative images of Africa all the time.hope ur question was answered

[@uffesorensen9040]

@@purebreed9695 Well I dont totally agree with you. First of all we are not all racist, and second - if you guys stay stuck in the past, nothing will change...and calling yourself "Pure Breed" doesnt help a lot. For the record: There is nothing negative with Africa - but with some of your leaders - as there is with some of the leaders in my part of the world...Humans all comes from Africa - dont ever forget that!
