I recently learned an African chant who's lyrics are:
Ama ebu oh-ee-eh-ee, Ama ebu oh-ee-eh
Sweet Honey in The Rocks sings this and I see in their discography something called "Fulani Chant". Does anyone know if this is the same song?

About the song I've been singing, I want to find out:
if the song is recently composed or traditional
Where it's from
If the words have meaning, what is their meaning
In what context is it sung

Does anybody have any information?
Thanks!
