What kind of Africa playlist would this be if it didn’t include Circle of Life! I love putting this on when I’m on safari, it just makes it seem that little bit more magical!Īnother great chilled out song from Jamaican singer Protoje. ![]() Listen to all of her songs!Ĭircle of Life – Carmen Twillie & Lebo M (Lion King). One of the greatest (if not the greatest), best known and best loved voices in African music. I’d often hear this playing in the background at hostels and restaurants or on the playlists of friends. “Hakuna shida” means ‘no problem’ I used that a lot too!Ī super chilled, reggae cover version of the Phil Collins song. I use that phrase all the time when I’m there. “Hakuna matata, what a wonderful phrase!” This song never fails to lift the spirits!Īnd not everyone realises it, but “hakuna matata” literally means “no worries” in Swahili. Hakuna Matata – Nathan Lane, Ernie Sabella, Jason Weaver (Lion King) Such a good anthem song, popular in the clubs! Enrique Iglesias, R.City, Serayah & Shaggy) I guess we’ll never know… “I bless the rains down in Aaaafricaaaaaaaaa!”ĭon’t You Need Somebody – RedOne (feat. I often wonder if I would still love this song as much if it wasn’t about Africa. Well, the first time I flew into Africa, into Livingstone, Zambia to be exact, my flight landed at 12.30. If you know the lyrics of this song, you’ll remember the line “She’s coming in 12.30 flight”. You will end up singing “I love you my baby, I love you my baby” over and over! This played everywhere in Tanzania! It’s a very addictive song that gets inside your head. When filming the video, French visited a small rural clinic called the Suubi Health Center and since returning back to the US, he has partnered with Global Citizen and Mama Hope, to create the #Unforgettable HealthcareCampaign, which has raised over $200,000 to rebuild and improve the healthcare centre. Swae Lee)įilmed in Kampala, Uganda, the video for this song is incredible and features a local dance group called Triplets Ghetto Kids. The first bit of the video is a bit weird (hence why I skipped it) but I love the song! It always gets me in the party mood! Perfect to twerk (or attempt to twerk) to. I thought maybe it was a one off, but no, it’s played all the time! Everywhere! I saw Ed Sheeran play live at Glastonbury this year, but this song will always remind me of Africa. Hearing Ed Sheeran played in a club in Arusha for the first time earlier this year, I was surprised. Judge me all you want – I don’t care! And secretly we all know you love it too. I’m sorry, I’m sorry, but this song is HUGE in Africa right now so it wouldn’t be right to leave it off the list and actually, I bloody LOVE Despacito. Watch the club go wild when this comes on!ĭespacito (Remix) – Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee (feat. Whenever this comes on I can’t help but do the dance! For the record, I much prefer the original to the Akon remix. I love this song by Nigerian artist P-Square. He just won Best African Artist at the EMA’s this year too!Ĭhop My Money (I Don’t Care) – P-Square (feat. One of the lyrics is “Banana fall on you” – what’s not to love? I pretty much listened to this song on repeat all around Africa this year (I’m actually listening to it now as I’m writing this post). This is my absolute favourite song of the year, sung by Nigerian artist Davido. Want to come on an incredible African adventure in 2018 or 2019?.What songs would you add to the list?
