Dance like no-one’s watching (unless you’re filming for Tik-Tok), sing like you’re in the shower and feel free with these good vibrations from Africa! We’ve put together and African Vibrations playlist to keep you, yourself and you grooving through the week.
Toto – Africa
It’s gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There’s nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
Johnny Clegg – Great Heart
I’m searching for the spirit of the great heart
To hold and keep me by
I’m searching for the spirit of the great heart
Under African sky
Hog Hoggidy Hog – African Son
It’s my home it’s where I’ll stay and where I belong
I didn’t choose to be here I was born
I might seem out of place here but everything I hold dear is under the African sun
Mango Groove – Special Star
When the stars no longer shine
When the sun falls from the sky
I will be forever yours
You will be forever mine
Shakira – Waka Waka (This Time For Africa)
When you fall get up oh oh
And if you fall get up oh oh
Tsamina mina zangalewa
‘Cause this is Africa
Tsamina mina eh eh
Waka waka eh eh
Tsamina mina zangalewa
This time for Africa
The Lion King – Hakuna Matata
It means no worries
For the rest of your days
It’s our problem-free philosophy
Hakuna Matata!
Paul Simon – Under African Skies
Joseph’s face was black as night
The pale yellow moon shone in his eyes
His path was marked
By the stars in the Southern Hemisphere
And he walked his days
Under African skies
Ladysmith Black Mambazo – Swing Low Sweet Chariot
Swing low, sweet chariot,
Coming for to carry me home,
Swing low, sweet chariot,
Coming for to carry me home.
I looked over Jordan, and what did I see?
Coming for to carry me home,
A band of angels coming after me,
Coming for to carry me home.
Soweto Gospel Choir – Shosholoza
Shosholoza
Ku lezontaba
Stimela si qhamuka e south africa
Shosholoza
Stimela si qhamuka e south africa
YoungstaCPT – Wes Kaap (Cape Town)
Where I come from it’s no puzzle or a riddle
Four fingers up two twisted in the middle
If I was Bruce Wayne that would be my bat symbol
And where I from dj’s don’t smile, no dimples
But let’s get a samoosa, or something we can nibble
Roti and chicken Curry eat the crumbs and the crimbles
