This is Nina’s interpretation of a traditional Nigerian folk song Zungo that expresses the longing for one’s homeland. Original lyrics: Tani ma gbe mi de le, Gbe mi de zungo; Tani ma gbe mi de le ile i zungo, De le ile i zungo, Zungo ile zungo. Translation into English: Who can take me home? Who can take me back to Zungo? No place like home There is no place like Zungo.
someone added this concert on CZcams and it was beautiful... I love how Joe adds the beat sound and it makes Nina smile... pure musical chemistry right there. #myqueen.
@califgirl101 No problem! I did a search for it about a week ago and was horrified to realise it wasnt on youtube. So I posted. I am glad somebody else was after it :)
Wow! Finding this incredible Nina Simone classic again is such a treat! You've truly made my gloomy day a whole lot better! I so love to sing along with Ms. Simone on this beautiful video! Thank you again for this awesome post! :)
@Lauraviviana65 I am not sure if it is on itunes, though the link is coming up on here? I too couldn't find this anywhere. It took a long time to find this video!
