When I was a kid I was travelling with my mom and they were playing this song in the bus. when I grew up I always remembered the song but didn't know the artist and the title I had been looking for it and today I've found it much love from ghana
Omg i have the same exact story , i went to Ghana with my mother and sister in 93 and this song was all over the radio, i always remembered the course “ batongo” lol tried for years to find out who sang this song, thank god for youtube 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
Last time I saw Angelique was at the Roxy in Hollywood. Before she played her set she circulated among the audience. She personally greeted everyone of us individually, conversed with us, and thanked us for being there. What a Queen she is!!
Thank you Angelique , my 6 yr old Ghanaian American daughter is loving you right now, shes like daddy i love her voice , is she from Ghana.. sadly not but she is from Benin and all africans are one. Im gonna blast wombo lombo, agolo etc to send me down memory lane... Accra ,Ghana ...
I heard this song on the radio when i visited Ghana for the first time way back in 93 and i always wonderd who sung this song because when i came back to Canada where i was born i heard the same song on a international count down on a Canadian station and was shocked that i was hearing the same song. I guess the song must have been hot at the time and i never got to hear who the artist was which has been in my mind the past 26 years. Up until today may 29 2019 i was watching African voices on CNN and they where showcasing Angeliques music and the voice hit me instantly and brung back the memory of me in ghana as a child. Thank god for youtube because i youtubed it and it came up right away. Thanks for the beautiful music, I am a proud 1st generation Canadian Ghanaian. Bless up
ma mère me la chantait quand j'étais encore très jeune. et jusqu'à ce jour j'aime cette chanson et surtout Angélique KIDJO. Elle représente bien le Benin

God of war.just as in Ancient African egypt transcends space and time.soo such too is the God of music.angelique she just tapped into her ancestral God of music.not surprising tp an AFRICAN. we the oldest people on earth gave music to the world.the europe learnt from us never the reverse. soo moth it be.a baby cant teach yesterday to his great great great grand parent.Africa your story will only be told by the Gods noy humans
Durant mon adolescence j'ai beaucoup aime les musiques d'Angelique Kidjo et encore je me sens heureux de les regarder et me fon revivre 30 ans de cela ...
angelique kidjo. shes an African artist along with cella stella.they both originatef from benin.in west Africa.both were coached into African music in Africs.by the great cameroun master artist known as Ekambi brillant who help launch angelique first solo known as ninveh in 1982. both are very gifted Africans. Mrs kidjo.songs and choreography accentuate traditional African religions.spirits. the same as the yoruba of the benin kingdom. nigeria and togo.these same bantu traditions is the same practise in ancient egypt. its no doubt. that music originated in ancient African egypt by us Africans. even sports and religion. thered alot of variety of music in Africa that the world havent yet discover. every ocassion have its music.weeding.funerial.celebration etc music is like a recipe for living in Africa
I love this women so much, we are from the same country, Benin ma terre, i miss Ouida so much my home!!!!!! and Porto Novo too, been here in America for too long!!!!! need to go home!!!! thumbs up for Angelique Kidjo.
One of the coolest videos ever! We've seen her live twice in Chico, CA and she gave wonderfully uplifting performances both times. No sitting still during her shows!
Love this song since 1991.. here is, roughly speaking, what the song says: she's talking about a beautiful girl with good hair, braids that reminds her cultural origins, and when she (Angélique) sees her, she is filled with joy. Then, she's asking her to dance, to move her butt, her hips on her song. 😊😉
Thanks! I saw her live a few years ago, she is so amazing. She invited me and lots of other folks up on the stage to dance with her and we had a ball! :-)
Benin!? Please correct me if I'm wrong! Cheers from Sweden! A million thank's for upload cojwat! Name of bassplayer please! We are not alone - at all!!! Peace - and love!
I love this song, because TheFilipsutka is right, it was played in that italian movie. We had to study the film at uni, in one of my cinema seminars, and I remember loving the song so much; The lecturer asked ME out of the hundred of other students what I thought of the opening sequence, and all I could come up with was "the song's great!!!"... it was true but she probably thought I was a complete idiot as it wasn't that relevant to the course. Anyway, I LOVE it, brings back good memories
I remember seeing her drop backflips in the middle of a song, without pausing to even catch breath. Amazing gig, great voice, also love her version of Malika. x
I first saw this video on BET around the time it came out. I always remembered it vaguely (I thought she was saying "ta-tonga" then heard it in a restaurant where I was Sunday night. Thank heavens for Google search so I could finally find out what the artist and title were!
When I see dance crews dance with luminous effects today, I'm like 'Angélique set the pace!'. This woman, even at that time, had the most creative videos.
Waouuuu je ne savais pas que ce chant était à elle. Jai connu ce chant dans mon enfance ( 1997 ) 8 ans après la sortie de ce chant. A présent je suis content de le retrouvé sur youtube. Merci mon voisin. Ce dimanche 04/01/2015

Uncle just love your comment. This is Nana Ayiwa Achanfuo-Yeboah

This has got to be one of the greatest recordings/performances of all time in the history of music.
I’ve been trying to remember the name of this song for YEARS....finally found it omg 😭
This song is very good :)
I remember this song from the days when BET played international music
Wow, you’re not lying... 😩🥺🙏🏾✊🏾
Alas, this was when BET peaked imo.
Caribbean Rhythm was the show!!

Africa didnt 'invent music', it's a god given thing to like repeating beats, it's in our blood. Even animals like it.
Ignorant fool.
We are all Gods

@M.C.Honey Rose "nope that's your believes don't push it on people by say "we all have a chance to become gods"😅

Thanks! I've danced to this in my room 20 years ago. It was my hot memory!
It's 2021 and I'm glad to know this is from a Legend!

Si Ilse la hubiera lanzado de sencillo con un videoclip de esta estética fluorescente aqui en Mexico, se habría llevado premio a la creatividad...
Great song

My favourite of Anjeli collections ❤
I saw her a few years ago too. More like 10. She is great!
This song reminds me of the Caribbean, heading back in 3 weeks. YES! Thanks for posting :)
At Teutates, what kind of great music is that?? incredible!!!
Yeah! Angelique Kidjo is better live than on record, I saw her on this tour and it was amazing.
I love this song, because TheFilipsutka is right, it was played in that italian movie. We had to study the film at uni, in one of my cinema seminars, and I remember loving the song so much; The lecturer asked ME out of the hundred of other students what I thought of the opening sequence, and all I could come up with was "the song's great!!!"... it was true but she probably thought I was a complete idiot as it wasn't that relevant to the course. Anyway, I LOVE it, brings back good memories
In which Italian movie?
I remember seeing her drop backflips in the middle of a song, without pausing to even catch breath. Amazing gig, great voice, also love her version of Malika. x
There is a Portuguese version titled Saudade, sang by Brazilian singer Daniela Mercury.
great groove!! love it
Very nice! I love to see stuff that's different and creative.
Who is here 2020?
Ciao

I first saw this video on BET around the time it came out. I always remembered it vaguely (I thought she was saying "ta-tonga" then heard it in a restaurant where I was Sunday night. Thank heavens for Google search so I could finally find out what the artist and title were!
I love this song very much, thank you angélique
She's going to be in Montreal tomorrow at Quartier des Spectacles for a free show at Nuits d'Afrique! So exited.
this was the first i saw her in and now it is my best for her.
When I see dance crews dance with luminous effects today, I'm like 'Angélique set the pace!'.
This woman, even at that time, had the most creative videos.
Real talk
Amazing talent, amazing video!!!
Thank you so much for uploading this video I have been looking for it.

This is song is still fire...to the drums, the costumes...the very soul of the motherland
