  • Knowing the language isn’t necessary for enjoying the music, in my opinion. There’s plenty of “world music” (music outside my own country/language) that is just that. And I’m finding I like it more and more!

    Here’s a great example I found over the years. There is a song in the US called “The Lion Sleeps Tonight”. It’s alright, but the original version is from Africa. “Mbube” is the African name of the song. The versions I have heard are so much better than the English language version. The ones I know of are by Ladysmith Black Mambazo and Miriam Makeba.

    Finally picked up on it when I looked up the intro music to Coming to America!
