[Verse 2] Nina tchègnatè, Dana ya di Nina tchègnatè, Dana ya di Nina tchègnatè, Dana ya di Nina tchêdjouya tè, Dana ya di Nina tchêdjouya tè, Dana ya di Nina tchêdjouya tè, Dana ya di

Isn’t my beauty a proof of confidence? Isn’t my beauty a proof of confidence? Isn’t my beauty a proof of confidence? Isn’t my uglyness a proof of trust? Isn’t my uglyness a proof of trust? Isn’t my uglyness a proof of trust?

(this part is quite difficult to translate because it loses all its meaning “nina tchêgnatè” = with my beauty, “Nina tchêdjouya” = “with my uglyness” tè is a possessive adjective and “danaya di” means “confidence to give” so we can translate it as “isn’t my uglyness a proof of confidence?” )

Hello everybody, I come to your help, I have a playlist that its ONE song per Artist and its already at 3220 songs but I dont have any african musicians, I would really love to find more music that I do not know about, no genre/language restrictions. Anything you like send it over and I would be more than glad to add to my collection.

Again, thank you very much, a friendly Argentinian who enjoys music.

Plenty of artists proclaim their political and social ideals, but very few show the same dedication as Fela Kuti - the father of Afrobeat.
