Angelica Kidjo... I am back here in 2024 listening to you. I don't, know if it's just me but I kinda love the way you sang it than the original version. ❤
When I was a baby, my loving mother used to sing this song for me and I performed this when I was 7 years in basic school... I'm now 21 and anytime I hear this song, just can't hold my tears.... Full of memories😭😭😭😭 I love you Mummy
Ich bin 76 Jahre alt und habe noch nie so etwas schönes gehört, wie diese Fassung "Malaika" gesungen von Angelique Kidjo ! Mir standen die Tränen in den Augen! Diese Liedfassung hat mich vom Kopf bis in den Fuß elektrisiert und zutiefst berührt! Wunder-wunderschön!!!
Lyrics "In Swahili" Malaika, nakupenda Malaika Malaika, nakupenda Malaika Ningekuoa mali we, ningekuoa dada Nashindwa na mali sina we Ningekuoa Malaika Nashindwa na mali sina we Ningekuoa Malaika Pesa zasumbua roho yangu Pesa zasumbua roho yangu Nami nifanyeje, kijana mwenzio Nashindwa na mali sina we Ningekuoa Malaika Nashindwa na mali sina we Ningekuoa Malaika Kidege, hukuwaza kidege Kidege, hukuwaza kidege Ningekuoa mali we, ningekuoa dada Nashindwa na mali sina We Ningekuoa Malaika Nashindwa na mali sina We Ningekuoa Malaika Malaika, nakupenda Malaika Malaika, nakupenda Malaika Ningekuoa mali we, ngekuoa dada Nashindwa na mali sina we Ningekuoa Malaika Nashindwa na mali sina we Ningekuoa Malaika
Amazing. I was taught this song at the age of 4 for a school play, (I had no idea what I was saying, it’s not my language). I’m now past 50 and I still remember and love this song. Music is amazing.
it's a Tanzanian song just because recording studios were closed in Tanzania during Ujamaa era and some of Tanzanian artists moved to Kenya doesn't mean all the songs recorded there belong to Kenya
Angelique, you are very hardworking artist/musician. Your appetite for every type of music and its language has identified you as a unique artist/musician that Africa is proud of. Thank you for this version of the "Malaika" song.
Malaika, nakupenda Malaika Malaika, nakupenda Malaika Nami nifanyeje, kijana mwenzio Nashindwa na mali sina we Ningekuoa Malaika Nashindwa na mali sina we Ningekuoa Malaika Malaika, nakupenda Malaika Malaika, nakupenda Malaika Nami nifanyeje, kijana mwenzio Nashindwa na mali sina we Ningekuoa Malaika Nashindwa na mali sina we Ningekuoa Malaika Kidege, hukuwaza kidege Kidege, hukuwaza kidege Ningekuoa mali we, ningekuoa dada Nashindwa na mali sina we Ningekuoa Malaika Nashindwa na mali sina we Ningekuoa Malaika Malaika, nakupenda Malaika Malaika, nakupenda Malaika Nami nifanyeje, kijana mwenzio Nashindwa na mali sina we Ningekuoa Malaika Nashindwa na mali sina we Ningekuoa Malaika
@@payefeahn6471 Malaika (angel) Nakupenda malaika ( I love you angel) Nami nifanyeje ( what should I do) Kijana mwenzio (your fellow youth) Nashindwa na pesa sina ( I'm worried I have no money) Ningekuoa malaika ( I'd marry you angel)
This wonderful song has been performed by so many legendary singers throughout the years. But, in my mind, Kidjo's interpretation is the definitive version. This is an astoudingly gorgeous performance.
we can hear them and we do, but they require more effort to find and listen to here in the western world than the typical passive music listener is willing to do (ie; turning onto the clearest biggest radio stations in town, or hitting play on a "curated" playlist on spotify). check your local independent radio stations, college radio, cultural stations, daytime programing on music tv channels that may offer a weekly show that caters to world music. it isn't enough, but if you search and put effort into your music listening, you will be rewarded.
@@purebreed9695 Well I dont totally agree with you. First of all we are not all racist, and second - if you guys stay stuck in the past, nothing will change...and calling yourself "Pure Breed" doesnt help a lot. For the record: There is nothing negative with Africa - but with some of your leaders - as there is with some of the leaders in my part of the world...Humans all comes from Africa - dont ever forget that!
Angelique je t'adore j'ai 32 ans je me renconte que je connaissais dèja certaine de tes chansons dans le passé mais j'étais petite et ses derniés temps apres avoir longuement t'observer dans Afrique a un incroyable talent j'ai decidé de connaitre qui est ce membre du jury tres extraordinaire ( ctres commedienne , serieuse sympat mais surtout tres unique dans sa façon de faire une remarque sentais une vraie conneuseuse et je me posais la question de savoir qui est cette femme???) alors aujourdhui j'ai eu la reponse en cherchant sur internet vraiment vraiment Mme maman soeur Africaine je vous dis merci l'Afrique est fiere de vous je suis heureuse de vous connaitre aujourdhui je fais de vous ma diva Africa et je m'abonne a votre chaine pour mieux vous suivre et vous connaitre le meilleur talent Africain dans le monde c'est vous que Dieu vous protège merci merci 👌
My name is Robert from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in the United States. If you know English, could you please tell me the words of this beautiful song. I am ashamed to tell you that I don't even know what language this singer is singing. Thank you Nadine. -Bob Forrester
Robert Forrester she is singing in Swahili some parts, in another language I am not familiar with in others. I don't speak Swahili but she is basically saying she loves Malaika
La musique d'ouverture de notre cérémonie de mariage. Les invités s'en souviennent encore tellement ils ont été bouleversés par la beauté de cette chanson
Mama Angélique Kidjo, vous êtes exceptionnelle. ❤️Votre voix me transperce. Elle est d'une pureté extraordinaire. Vous êtes un modèle pour la femme africaine ❤️
Friday(11/3/2022):-Having been born in Mombasa in Kenya this song holds a special place in my heart.Also happened to attend a live concert of Angelique Kidjo in Mumbai.
Que preciosa canción, con cuanto sentimiento y fuerza interpreta!! Escuche esta hermosa canción hace años atrás como soundtrack de una película francesa (mi estación favorita) y fue un flechazo a primera vista! El arte y la belleza no admiten fronteras. Saludos desde Chile!
Angelique your parents taught you how to love everyone and that no boundaries will ever stop you in your quest to sing us into a new kinder world for all

Un pur merveille 😚😚😚😚😚😚que c'est apaisant 😊😊😊
I don't understand one letter or a word but I cry every single time I listen to this song.
Her voice nearly made me cry, the way she uses her african language is making me want to learn my language
I gave birth 11 days ago and I named her Malaika ♥️... Malaika my angel.
👍🙏👌❤️😘😇💕
What is the mean for Malaika
@@stephaniejew6353 it means my angel /guardian angel
@@stephaniejew6353 i love you my angel in "swahili" malaika "my angel" nakupenda "i love you"

Amazing. I was taught this song at the age of 4 for a school play, (I had no idea what I was saying, it’s not my language). I’m now past 50 and I still remember and love this song. Music is amazing.
Thank you so much. Truly a tonic for my soul over the years every time I hear this beautiful song. ❤
This performance gave me goose bumps this was an emotional performance
Hi Catalina please did you know how to sing
me too and tears in my eyes
😭😭😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Your voice and words mean alot ty
It's not only about the voice, but who delivers the content of the songs.
This is the very best version of makeba's song.
I have never heard such a lovely done rendition of Malaika
Diet
To all Kenyans and Tanzania's, be blessed
Woow Miriam Makeba would be PROUD.... RIPMamaAfrica
The original composer was called Fadhili Williams from East Africa Kenya
Mama sure would be proud of her daughter
Originally composed by Fadhili Williams a Kenyan Malaika has remained to be the most popular song in Africa over the years
it's a Tanzanian song just because recording studios were closed in Tanzania during Ujamaa era and some of Tanzanian artists moved to Kenya doesn't mean all the songs recorded there belong to Kenya
The lyrics were written by a Tanzanian
@@amaseric9324 😂😂😂😂 was fadhili Williams a Tanzanian really?he was a Kenyan born in taita
@@samwelgasaya1213nothing like written by a taita guy a Kenyan born fadhiliii
I saw the comment and new Kenyans and Tanzanians will be fighting over fadhili's origins. Sisi kama wakenya bora iliandikwa Kenya ni yetu😂😂😂😂😂😂
She is incredibly good. voice is so sweet. Long Live the Queen.
All the way from Zimbabwe.Our love is unmeasured we love you Angelique😘👌❤❤❤
Nobody has a voice like this Queen's.
Angelique, you are very hardworking artist/musician. Your appetite for every type of music and its language has identified you as a unique artist/musician that Africa is proud of. Thank you for this version of the "Malaika" song.
Tu es un ange c'est Dieu qui t'a donné ❤❤❤

@Onyeka Iweanya: Good job for the interpretation.
Clearly you swing Swahili!!!
What's is the meaning of the song? I actually felt something powerful in her voice.
@@payefeahn6471
Malaika (angel)
Nakupenda malaika ( I love you angel)
Nami nifanyeje ( what should I do)
Kijana mwenzio (your fellow youth)
Nashindwa na pesa sina ( I'm worried I have no money)
Ningekuoa malaika ( I'd marry you angel)
This is nice
Gorgeous performance that I often come back to because it reminds me of my dad, he stumbled upon it on tv one day and was excited to show us all
Angélique Kidjo, la seule artiste que j’aie pu voir chanter sur trois continents!❤❤❤
OMG! Goosebumps! I feel every hair on my arms and on my head standing up!
😍😍😍 I cried today listening to her sing this song live...what a voice and what a performer!🙌🙌🙌
This wonderful song has been performed by so many legendary singers throughout the years. But, in my mind, Kidjo's interpretation is the definitive version. This is an astoudingly gorgeous performance.
Why don't we hear these beautiful voices in Europe and the rest of the world?
Simply because we "pale faces" think that we are the best, so therefor we dont want to listen to the voices of our forefathers!
Thank goodness for internet - now we don’t hv to be bombarded with the others 👍🏾😉
