I'm not a pale globetrotter any longer, now fully tanned up after countless hours in the pool with the kids.

Hahaha yes, that was just what I imagined. And how good that all the rays of the sun were also shared with your children and their happy company. In such a way that after your shared tan with your kids, now you no longer have to allow anyone call you nigger, black or Afro descendant unless you now opt to grow a tumus frizzy hairstyle. :D

Now to the tunes, which were a perfect antidote to my Rage Against The Machine tunes.

Yep! that was what I thought. :)

I especially liked Harmonium - Aujourd hui je dis bonjour a la vie and your African music additions were great and I too would love to hear some music from their home countries, rather than Pop songs from the West, but that's their prerogative, so let's see what happens.

Yup, for some strange reason I thought the Harmonium song was the one you were going to like the most. Perhaps because that contains lyrics and the others are instrumental. };)

And yeah, I also would love to hear some more vernacular music from their home countries. They have indeed espectacular original music non existent anywhere else in the world. Although I agree with you that it is their prerogative to share what they want and therefore we will wait to see what happens.

One of my favourite African songs from Mali group Amadou & Mariam... Have you heard of them?

I have the impression that I had heard this song before. And if it wasn't this song specifically, some other similar one. Since I knew both interpreters from long time ago.

And since you liked the African music additions I shared in this post. Let me now add one more African song also very beautiful & popular... regardless of the fact that it doesn't contain any lyrics at all. LoL
