and i so happened to find this song.......
called Malaika (means "Angel")
love this song....this song is mad popular
but its really old. so makes sense...
many people have done a cover of it....people all over in African, even the United States
and Europe, pretty awesome huh?!
so I kno you wanna hear this famous song.......
i could do that for you and I will....

check this out...cover by the Soweto Gospel Choir...(amazing)
this is the original page of Malaika that reveal all the angelic goodness (ooo nice play on words huh?!) ...has the translations and everything (for you non-Swahilis out there)..

you want a video?
ill give you one...(youtube is great)
here's a video of Boney M (?? idk) singing it...




The song came from the creative mind of a Kenyan man, Fadhili William, recorded in 1960....
and the song spread like wildfire since....
i was gonna say it's my favorite Swahili song...but actually its the only Swahili song I kno.....
so....yeah...check it out..
