Angelica Kidjo... I am back here in 2024 listening to you. I don't, know if it's just me but I kinda love the way you sang it than the original version. ❤

Amazing. I was taught this song at the age of 4 for a school play, (I had no idea what I was saying, it’s not my language). I’m now past 50 and I still remember and love this song. Music is amazing.

Lyrics "In Swahili"
Malaika, nakupenda Malaika
Malaika, nakupenda Malaika
Ningekuoa mali we, ningekuoa dada
Nashindwa na mali sina we
Ningekuoa Malaika
Nashindwa na mali sina we
Ningekuoa Malaika
Pesa zasumbua roho yangu
Pesa zasumbua roho yangu
Nami nifanyeje, kijana mwenzio
Nashindwa na mali sina we
Ningekuoa Malaika
Nashindwa na mali sina we
Ningekuoa Malaika
Kidege, hukuwaza kidege
Kidege, hukuwaza kidege
Ningekuoa mali we, ningekuoa dada
Nashindwa na mali sina
We Ningekuoa Malaika
Nashindwa na mali sina
We Ningekuoa Malaika
Malaika, nakupenda Malaika
Malaika, nakupenda Malaika
Ningekuoa mali we, ngekuoa dada
Nashindwa na mali sina we
Ningekuoa Malaika

Angelique, you are very hardworking artist/musician. Your appetite for every type of music and its language has identified you as a unique artist/musician that Africa is proud of. Thank you for this version of the "Malaika" song.

Nobody has a voice like this Queen's.

[@goodboi9821]

Originally composed by Fadhili Williams a Kenyan Malaika has remained to be the most popular song in Africa over the years

[@amaseric9324]

it's a Tanzanian song just because recording studios were closed in Tanzania during Ujamaa era and some of Tanzanian artists moved to Kenya doesn't mean all the songs recorded there belong to Kenya

[@samwelgasaya1213]

The lyrics were written by a Tanzanian

[@tonimkenya900]

​@@amaseric9324 😂😂😂😂 was fadhili Williams a Tanzanian really?he was a Kenyan born in taita

This wonderful song has been performed by so many legendary singers throughout the years. But, in my mind, Kidjo's interpretation is the definitive version. This is an astoudingly gorgeous performance.

[@Veritas2233]

Why don't we hear these beautiful voices in Europe and the rest of the world?

[@uffesorensen9040]

Simply because we "pale faces" think that we are the best, so therefor we dont want to listen to the voices of our forefathers!

[@islandgal2583]

Thank goodness for internet - now we don’t hv to be bombarded with the others 👍🏾😉

[@pabloplato]

we can hear them and we do, but they require more effort to find and listen to here in the western world than the typical passive music listener is willing to do (ie; turning onto the clearest biggest radio stations in town, or hitting play on a "curated" playlist on spotify). check your local independent radio stations, college radio, cultural stations, daytime programing on music tv channels that may offer a weekly show that caters to world music. it isn't enough, but if you search and put effort into your music listening, you will be rewarded.

[@purebreed9695]

Bcos u racist idiots try to paint negative images of Africa all the time.hope ur question was answered

[@uffesorensen9040]

@@purebreed9695 Well I dont totally agree with you. First of all we are not all racist, and second - if you guys stay stuck in the past, nothing will change...and calling yourself "Pure Breed" doesnt help a lot. For the record: There is nothing negative with Africa - but with some of your leaders - as there is with some of the leaders in my part of the world...Humans all comes from Africa - dont ever forget that!
