Kikalama kikalama kikalama, kikalama kikalama kikalama,

More info:
The performance of "Kikalama" by the Kante Facelli Ensemble on Smithsonian Folkways’ excellent Africa: The Voices and Drums of Africa is a mix of Malinke and Susu. In Malinke, “Kikalama" means, roughly, “"know who you are; and what you do do not lose control of yourself ...." Thanks to Guinean master kora player Prince Diabate for the translation.
