Monday Music #6: Khadja Nin -- Mama

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.

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"
