    I couldn't understand a word she was singing.
    I call my bathroom Jim instead of John so I can tell people that I go to the Jim first thing every morning.

    If you say the word 'gullible' very slowly it sounds just like oranges.

    Swish, Jack, "I heard that" and I don't understand a word either, however I stumble on to her while streaming Pandora, and it was love at first listen,

    she's a (Malian, from (Mali) somewhere around the Ivory Coast) the language that she sings in is (Wassoulou, one of thousands, of African Dialect spoken in west Africa)

    some ethnomusicologists believe that Wassoulou music is one of two forms of western African music that have great influence on the early American "Blues & Jazz" hence, music is a universal "language" if you can hear it" its all good

    She sounds fine and all, I'm just not a big 'World Music' fan. I just can't relate to it, and I supposed the language barrier is the main issue.
    I call my bathroom Jim instead of John so I can tell people that I go to the Jim first thing every morning.

    WOW! I like that! I could hear the emotion she put into it...going to have to see what else she sings. The only word I think I understood was "singit" "singit".


    Oh...I like this one.
