Bit of a cha cha cha going on here in the kitchen!!
Love, love, love Orchestra Baobab. I lived in Senegal for several years; my Wolof is extremely rusty but the title of the song means "Don't go". The lyrics are referencing the dangers of West African youth trying to migrate illegally to Europe (what locals call "the back way" into Italy or Spain by sea). The song is urging youth to stay at home and contribute to Senegal.

I hear that. GREAT TUNE! I gave it a TEN.
Dang, at first I thought this was a Cuban band! Of course, Cuban music has strong African influences, but this is very direct. Great tune, fantastic horns! I've always been fond of this band, just never noticed the strength of the connection before. Let's start this off with an easy 8 from Napoli on the Gulf.

I would not call it a cover but it is heavily inspired by llorarás by Oscar de león Llorarás
