Khadja Nin is a singer from Burundi Africa. She was the youngest of eight children of a diplomat and was known for her beautiful voice since she was a young child. Her singing career really took off after marrying her husband who was in the music business in Europe. I read that she sings in Burundi, Swahili and French. Needless to say I don't understand the songs but they sound very pleasing, and although I don't know what this song is about other than Mama, I thought it would be an enjoyable listen to help us think of our mothers.
Khadja Nin -- Mama
She is quoted as saying, "But you know, I try to stay very calm with it (music career) because I came to music rather late in my life and by accident. Actually, music came to me like a gift from God"
VERY cool song!! it's got a great sound :) i can't understand most of it either, but i thought it was neat!
