Song DescriptionThis song was inspired while traveling to Paris. Its amazing what creativity is sparked on a ten hour flight.
Story Behind the SongUpon arriving back to the states, we gave the track to Chet Samuel who immediately felt the vibe and came up with the lyrics that would salute the great artists of Mama Africa.
Lyrics

Mamma Africa
viva la musica, oh oh

I'm paying homage to my beloved mama
I carry her with me everywhere that I go
For your rhythm and your melody
