Happy new fabulous year!




i rocked to this song at my bday party in november along with lagbaja's konko below and skentele and some hindu and latin rap songs.

since the party i have received numerous requests for this song "premier gau and lagbaja,s two by my oyinbo friends and colleagues(they also love "fayla kutee"){fela kuti}

what a sexy song!
such a shame we don't appreciate our african artists as we should.....

btw, there's another video of the song shot on location in london but, i prefer the african location o

Ahh... Most Nigerians love this song. Even though we don’t know what they are saying.

No wedding is complete in the States until this song is played.

Happy New Year Sherri! So are we playing this on ur wedding this year?

Sherri said...

@lmm,
glad u like.

@allied,
trust me babe, i had to find out what they were saying o (i dont want to be grooving to some nonsense and or worse profanities)

the song is in french(u knew that right?)
the dude is singing to his girl who is looking to leave him for a rich guy,saying money is not everything girl, as long as we can eat,have shelter and most of all each other (with some sexy connotations in between)

am a recovering workaholic and a recluse, hence my not being to naija weddings and not knowing of this song...

@naapali,
Happy new year!

no wedding this year o
i have more pressing goals to garner in my singlehood jare.

Used to love love this song.. It's amazing how music transcends language or culture. I dont understand a lick of what they are singing about but i jam to it like i wrote the godonne song. lol

Have an awesome new year... May ALL your heart's desires be fulfilled!!

Thx for stopping by..
