I have nothing but one small wish for my birthday. It came from reading Tomavana's must-read post today. She posted a moving rendition of "Nkosisikilel'i Africa" by Lady Smith Black Mambazo and Paul Simon.
Absolute magic.
So if you please and if you have the time, listen to this ode to Africa and hum it along at work, at home, wherever you are. I will hear you whisper it and if it starts raining, you'll know I started humming along with you :D.
PS: (Thanks to my uncle Gozy for sending the mp3 file and happy b'day to you too !)
Type rest of the post here
Happy Birthday!

> Thank you Amrita, rakotoma-la-la-la ? :D I think I know that song: rakotoma la-la-la, now that I 've lost everything to you....oh baby, baby it's a wild world ! :D I kind of like it.
ReplyDelete> Tomavana, today, I owed to you a feeling of peace and harmony, I cannot thank you enough for that.
> Mosi, lali, lalu ? A new G-B language is on the way :D. Can I learn the chords to Nkosi ?
Happy Bday to you Lova! Tout plein de bonnes choses pour toi pour cette nouvelle année.

Hapi BDay pal '
ReplyDeleteWish the best for your 20th (héhé)!
of course I didn't watch the video...but will catch up as soon as I can...
bbzzz
>Merci Tattum et Joan,
ReplyDeleteI wish it was my 20th :D, I am old enough now to know that we are still waiting for a suitable successor to LBM :).
Happy birthday Lova!!
ReplyDeleteI'd say get drunk, but you're way past 21... perhaps it's time to pop in the viagra? :-D
Ouch video :D,
ReplyDeleteThe sad truth is, I am already getting a discount on the "blue wonder" thanks to the frequent use....and that's just for my weak heart ;)
sure no problem - that should be fun.
ReplyDeleteWeak heart?? For real or was that a joke i didn't get? Hope it's ok...
ReplyDeletejust kidding video :) A very confusing joke, prescribing viagra to help the heart is not really commnon practice :)
ReplyDeleteWell that's how viagra first started out! to helpimprove the blood circulation in premature born babies... but it turns out it did something else as well... :-) oh well... serendipity is sweet!
ReplyDeleteBelated happy birthday! I hope it was a good one!
ReplyDelete>Video,
ReplyDeleteSweet indeed :). Viagra: Promoting "life" in every which way possible :D. I always thought the best science was done by accident.
> Thanks Anali,
rib-eye steak and raspberry mousse cake and good times :) what more could one ask for ?

ReplyDeleteThank you Sipakv. Very few songs can still do that, this one is certainly one of them.
