Asa, a Nigerian/French singer, is in Lagos (down south) with Gentleman, a German/Jamaican (?) singer showing him around.



I read recently in a Lonely Planet book that some estimates put one in three Africans to be Nigerian.

Ugh. She was in town last March but I 1. didn't know about her yet and 2. didn't hear about the show, if I had I would have gone even without listening to hear. It breaks my heart that I missed her.

Hopefully!

It doesn't state, and I don't have very much experience with Yoruba, not enough to be sure, but it mentions in the earlier video that she sings in Yoruba in some of her songs so, I assume this is one.

Watching this now, thanks! Unfortunately no-one has thought of uploading the French version, and it's no longer viewable on the site. Doesn't seem to be too much German so far though.

Mya, you watching Arte??!! Are you German? 0.o
Thinking of it, you look German =)

Also, shame on me for not having checked for Asa until now.

You're welcome! There's only German spoken for a minute or so, the rest is in English. I think it has German sub-titles because it was broadcast on a German telly show.

I don't know what Arte is, sorry. And no, I'm not. My father's British, my mother Canadian. My father did work for a German company but, I haven't done more than visited, and I don't speak German.

Well now you have!

Yes, it's a franco-german tv 'cultural' channel, most programs exist in both versions (this should explain my previous post too ;)
That was good =) now I feel like digging up some vintage Nigerian vinyls I've got somewhere!

Sure! Be sure to bring your turntable, mine has been tucked away for ages ;_;

Have some Tony Allen for warm'up!

Much like a bell on a cat to warn birds of forthcoming danger, I shall ring a bell for you every time I am about to make a joke, Mya.

Very cool.


You're like a mini-Margo.


Omair is the greatest!

Mya Jamila you're all complex and weird and crap, so I think you would be like a ground hog. Those things are so fucking weird and complex, and everyone's like "look at that groundhog, that groundhog is so complex and interesting". People would write blogs and childrens books about you, you'd be so popular that there would be a day named after you. This day is called "Saturday", and every "Saturday" everyone would go to your little groundhog pad, and throw carrots and potatos and beans down the hole and you'd eat until you shat turds the size of gumballs (which is pretty huge considering you're no bigger than a King Size Snickers Bar). But yeah, you also have incredible weather predicting skills.

Mya Jamila you would probably be in a thought provoking and easy to understand childrens cartoon movie. It would be called The Land Before Time VIII: Ice Age 3: Jurraissic Park Jr. you would play a new character introduced to the series, Daisyloaf. You would be a young velociraptor on the prowl and independant, but thenyou meet Little Foot and the Gang and you understand the power of friendship and you forge a bond after realizing you need each other to survive or something. Also, raptors have hands, and all of those animals are pretty retarded in that they do not have hands, so you're pretty much the best dinosaur.

Thanks Haya!
