It's not Pride of Africa, though points for the first "Pride of A-".

What's the Folk DJ list? Unfortunately I do not know which show/DJ it was since I had only tuned into the channel on a lark, though I think I will send an email to the address associated with the channel to see if they can give me any leads. I remember trying to hunt it down in the playlist the day after I heard it, but it escaped my grasp even then.

The recording itself sounded pretty recent and by younger voices. Definitely studio. Melodically it sounded like a morose shanty, almost a dirge, while the lyrics themselves were more hopeful and successful. It gave the whole thing a sense of nostalgia and rekindled ambition.

The song's been rattling around in the back of my head ever since I heard it and I occasionally get inspired to hunt it down. These hunts typically end after a few hour's fevered googling, but this time I finally decided to ask for help.
