CD Reviews

The Best of African Songs by Safari Sound Band--GREAT album

01/09/2002

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This music is so fun and enlightening and will make you feel like you are on Safari just listening to it. The lyrics are mostly in Swahili and are good ways to learn a few words of this lovely language. I especially liked "Jambo Jambo" which is sung on birthday celebrations in Kenya but there wasn't one of the 14 tracks which we didn't like. Kids love it too!"

"This is an album of well known, commercialized Kenyan songs. The song entitled "Jambo Jambo" on this album and mentioned in the review above is NOT a Kenyan birthday song. It is basically a tourism song - it welcomes visitors to the country of Kenya. The first few lines translate roughly to: "Hello, Hello Sir. How are you? Very well. Visitors, you are welcome to our Kenya. There are no worries." Just thought I'd share this information for those people who are interested in knowing the correct meanings/contexts of the songs."
