Subject: RE: Any trad. love songs from Africa?
If we are talking African-African, surely there is no more beautiful love song than the Congolese "Masanga" by Mwenda Jean Bosco. Several others have recorded it too, Jeremy Taylor ("The Very Best Of Jeremy Taylor" 1996, Prism Leisure Records; "Live in Chicago", 2005) and John Williams among them.
