Zap Mama were ahead of their time! Forever indebted to Marie Daulne for bringing together all this amazingly talented women. I’m of the same Gen- we wanted unity in the 90s/ early 2000s - blend our diff cultures & experiences - stand as one for Africa in Europe - who could have foreseen today’s toxic division & classism?
Celebrating womanhood, sisterhood, the earth, African vibes, the warmth and cacophonie of togetherness and the holiness of solitude, silence, and desert.
This song will live forever if no where else in my mind. I think it is too ignored. The vocal progressions and subtle dynamics are Amazing. i have no idea what the french parts are, but I feel it. I love it. I use to fall asleep to their music all 1am in the morning. I love them more together than the solo.
From what i understand its "j'examine et je fulmine???, moi la carabine ça m'abime.. mais je vous ai la, sur ma poitrine, je m'incline, je vous fait signe" Which doesn't make much sense in French either lol.. very subjective "I examine and i ??? As for me, the shotgun keeps hurting.. but i have you here on my chest, i bow and give you a sign" don't know if i missed a saying/proverb or if i misheard a word but i don't think so..
I just wonder why Zap Mama changed so radically to it's style today. They used to be so great, and this song proves it. Now that Marie Daulne is the solo and the other four great women are gone, she has lost all the greatness. You have to admit that today she sounds just like anyone else. How did that ever happen if she had such a special thing in here?
découverte de cette musique début 90', 6 CD au compteur mais trop bien ! ça nous manque. Marie un peu diva mais mérité ! Vue au Parc Floral, et aussi Sally plus tard. quand le prochain concert ??
randomly thought of this woman a few days ago and was afraid i wasnt gonna be able to find the song i loved of hers because i didnt remember the name. i found it on the first click! :D
Amazing. One of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. powerfully beautiful, exceptionally talented, joyously feminine, artistically brilliant ladies. Could this be required viewing in every high school across the world, because I want every young girl in the world to aspire to be like these beautiful women. Let's take a vote

Reminds me of Afrobeat.
I love this video. It looked like it was hella fun to make.
Celebrating womanhood, sisterhood, the earth, African vibes, the warmth and cacophonie of togetherness and the holiness of solitude, silence, and desert.

I heard this on a college radio station many years ago and this song still pays a visit in my mind once in a while since I heard this song.
Still listening in 2024! Whew... look how far AfroPop and African music has come? Sometimes even the roots need flowers...!#thankyou!
This just brought back childhood memoriessss!
Song reminding me I was once young sitting in front of the television on the floor in the lounge 🇿🇼
Eish,childhood memories..🇿🇼
...and to think that back in 1993 MTV Europe played this video frequently in the late afternoon rotation...
I love Zap Mama.. I went to the concert at The Filmore - SF... is unforgatable... I´m so happy to find this tresure here.
32 years later still perrrrrfect
I think and hope you are right! I miss bands like Zap Mama. They brought us something very unique!
A band of such beautiful women, and this song is so much fun to listen to.
This playful gem is what turned me on to Zap Mama. Please continue zapping us.

This song recreates itself each time.
This is such a cheerful song. I walk around my office singing it nearly everyday. : )
One of MJ's favorite songs in the whole world!:)
Brrrlak - Zap Mama
Those were the days, 2021 reminiscing on my childhood, thanks @Zbc 🇿🇼
6 dislikes? How can you have a heart & soul and even consider pressing the thumbs down for such a beautiful uplifting celebration of the spirit?
La technique du son produit par la flute des bambuti est délicieusement incorporé dans cette chanson mesmérisante
