Music from Ghana: Shaka Zulu


"Shaka Zulu" is also by 4x4 and features a guest appearance by the Fresh Prince (No, not Will Smith). It has an upbeat, optimistic melody which is a staple of Ghanian music. Notable is the song's chorus which boasts, "girl want a Fresh prince, they want a C.P., they want Abortion." The last line can sound alarming until you realize "Abortion" refers to one of the group's singers.
