Afrocubism
AfroCubism is a collective of Cuban and Malian musicians brought together by World Circuit Records producer Nick Gold. Gold's original idea in the 1990s was to enlist Cuban musicians, Ry Cooder, Malian ngoni master Bassekou Kouyate, and electric guitarist Djelimady Tounkara. Due to visa snafus, that recording session never happened; the Cubans and Cooder recorded and the end result was the now legendary Buena Vista Social Club album. Though it took over a decade, Gold persisted in pursuit of his concept.

Gold's original idea in the 1990s was to enlist Cuban musicians, Ry Cooder, Malian ngoni master Bassekou Kouyate, and electric guitarist Djelimady Tounkara. Due to visa snafus, that recording session never happened; the Cubans and Cooder recorded and the end result was the now legendary Buena Vista Social Club album. Though it took over a decade, Gold persisted in pursuit of his concept. He eventually assembled a stellar group of musicians from both countries. AfroCubism is fronted by lead vocalist and acoustic guitarist Eliades Ochoa. His long celebrated Grupo Patria make up the majority of the Cuban players in this large band. The Malians are led by Kouyate and Tounkara, and are joined by vocalist Kassé-Mady Diabaté, balafon maestro Lassana Diabaté, and world-renowned kora player Toumani Diabaté, with Baba Sissoko on talking drum, among others. The group's self-titled album was released in October of 2010, and met with widespread critical acclaim. A European tour followed.

Everybody chooses their own love
Everybody chooses their own love
I have chosen my own love
Love is like electricity
Love is like a disease
Don't you know what love is?
"Uncivilized" people wouldn't know it
Don't you know what love is?
Irresponsible people wouldn't know it
Love is like an alcoholic drink
Love is like a disease
For which doctors have no cure
Love is painful (or hard to bear)
A disease, for which medicine has no cure
Love is painful (or hard to bear)

Everybody chooses their own love
Everybody chooses their own love
Everybody chooses their own love
I have chosen my own love
"Uncivilized" people wouldn't understand it
Love is like an alcoholic drink
Love is like a disease
For which doctors have no cure
Love is painful (or hard to bear)
A disease, for which medicine has no cure
Love is painful (or hard to bear)

Aah, Everybody chooses their own love
Ooh, Everybody chooses their own love
Everybody chooses their own love
Listen, I'm in love with you
Don't you know what love is?
It's like electricity, it's like electricity
It's like a disease, it's like a disease
A disease, for which doctors have no cure
Love is painful (or hard to bear)
A disease, for which medicine has no cure
Love is painful (or hard to bear)

Ray Arthey

Every person
Is called upon to dedicate to another
A passionate love.
All illnesses
Can be treated by the doctors,
But love is an illness
Which doctors cannot cure.
Wait for me! Wait for me, my beloved one!
For I cannot live without you.
Surely you do not know my beloved one:
It is he who, for me,
Eclipses all others.
The old women do not know
Perhaps, the power of love;
The old men do not know,
Perhaps, the power of love;
For if they really knew it
They would have understood my passion,
They would have understood
That love is an incurable illness.
For love knows no father,
For love knows no mother,
For love knows neither brother nor sister;
Love is blind to all this,
Love is deaf to all this,
What counts alone is what you have said to me.
And never forget, my beloved one,
What you have promised me,
For treason is worse than all,
Especially in love.

One of the most underrated songs I've ever heard. Here from USAD but I keep coming back to it even though competitions are over for me!

Ucarn

I agree!! Love it!

Prodigal Diasporan

That's probably one of the best songs ever. There are a few kora versions too, it's a classic.
