African wedding songs

Hi Guys,

Please help a museke sister in need fela :-) Im looking for nice African songs to play at a wedding, but they have to be non-conventional not too singy singy (ie, songs like african queen and brenda fassies list of wedding songs not an option). My best friend is getting married and she has put upon me the amazing task of compiling a song from each of the 52 African countries! If you have a fav song (thats not very popular) thats played in yr country, please share!!! I can take care of alot of other countries too but would love suggestions.

Thanks!

Heya, you can start by checking our wedding and marriage songs.

If I had to pick one song from Ghana, I'll go for Meye by Kwabena Kwabena, it's my favorite and Kwabs Squared has a great voice. The acoustic mix page is here too.

nice list, Alima. My Nigerian favorites will be Oruka by Sunny Nneji, No one like you by P-Square, With this woman by Dare Art-Alade, and Olo mi by Tosin Martins.

Keep the requests coming.
