Malaika
An African Oldie by sang beautifully by a Chinese group.
"Mulembe" is a greeting in Lugisu, my language. It is a language spoken by a people who live on the western slopes of Mt. Elgon in eastern Uganda. When literally translated it means "peace." The person being greeted would also respond with the same, "Mulembe." This greeting serves the purpose of declaring no intention of harm. Therefore, I welcome everyone to this blog with, "Mulembe!"

Great old song. I never tire of hearing it!
Always fun when people embrace and enjoy other other cultures. This version of Malaika by the Chinese is really very good and does not take away from the original.
