Papa Wemba, Kanda Bongo Man Weave their magic in the Sudan Suke Chile, General Defao Play the rhythm of the deep Congo. 2 In the village of Kikambala They play the music called the Lingala Shake the hand of a handsome stranger Tonight let there be no danger. She Dances - And She Dances And She Dances - And She Dances 3. Guns of Gambia and Uganda The killing fields of Rwanda Lost her family in the civil war She gets lost in the Carnaval 4. She goes down to the capital Across the desert to the Cote D’Ivoire Hear the music of the festival Asala maaleykum, Senegal And She Dances - And She Dances And She Dances - And She Dances Bridge: In Marseilles the Frenchman set their sails In Dakar the woman wear their veils Waves crash on the fishing boats Ndombolo singer takes off his coat And he dances - And she dances And she dances - And she Dances And she dances -She goes down to the festival And she dances -Across the Desert to the Cote D’Ivoire And she dances - She’s seen famine, she’s seen war And she dances -So She gets lost in the Carnaval And she dances -Papa Wemba, Kando Bonga Man And she dances -Weave their magic in the Sudan And she dances - Suke Chule, General Defao And she dances - Play the rhythm of the deep Congo Wayne Gillespie –Vocals, Electric and Acoustic Guitars Rob Grosser -Drums and Percussion Rick Robertson –Sax Nigel Gavin – Guitar Goby Catt – Electric bass Don Hopkins -Accordion Evelyn Duprai -Vocals

about

A track inspired after listening to African greats such as Papa Wemba and Kanda Bongo Man - Built around Rob Grosser's drum rhythms and in the hands of Singer/Songwriter Wayne Gillespie this track has become more of a blend of Folk/Rock/Pop and West African N'Dombolo dance music.
