I like the Lion Sleeps Tonight by The Tokens. I don’t think the video posted did justice, but it’s a mildly decent visual lol.

I like the variety in it. I have a few others I liked that had true African melodies and instruments but I forgot the names unfortunately, as I don’t keep a lot of my favorite songs in one secure, accessible album. 👀👐

Voted B 🦁

C 😂*

[SoftCliff]

Voted for option B

Geuinely one of the best tracks of all time of any genre. I never get tired of listening to it

[FunkyMonkee]

Before you play this, turn it up loud keep your eyes closed until they start singing

I voted C for the sake of answering the question. but my real answer is Spirit Of Africa from the soundtrack of Congo (1995)
