That's a nice lively song, Psy-Fi! I would translate "Que pena" as "What a shame" or "How embarrassing" so it sounds like a song that is laughing about life's small misfortunes. That's a lesson we all need to be reminded of at times!

Graceland is a favourite album of mine, and that clip really brings "I know what I know" to life.

There is so much good music from Africa, and you prompted me to revisit an old favourite, the Horoya Band National:-



Where are these guys from? The country of Guinea (sometimes called Guinea-Conakry in an attempt to distinguish it from two other countries: the neighbouring Guinea-Bissau and Equitorial Guinea, which is over a thousand miles to the east).
