Mama Africa

by Chico Cesar

A beautiful reggae-forro-samba song about Mama Africa,In Chico is greatest hit of all times.

Chico Cesar was born in Paraíba, in the rural Northeast of Brazil. He was the seventh son of a farmer and laundress and went to a church school where he learnt to play the flute and guitar, and developed his musical instinct. Over the last few years, he has gone from complete unknown to being one of the most in-demand songwriters and performers in Brazil and becoming well known in the international world music scene. With its mix of reggae and Bahian rhythms, and a strong political and social message, 'Mama Africa' became a national hit overnight and signaled the arrival of a new force in Brazilian music.
