Yeah; the accordion sounds good; more coming from French influence than Polish though.


The French remained more time in Madagascar than the Poles. ;-)

What a beautiful sad song even though I didn't understand the words.

So, I lived in Madagascar from 2005 - 2007 and didn't care much for most of the music I heard here. Never heard this lady though, this is good stuff.

Is it just me, or does that accordion add nothing to what would be a really nice song?
 
It is just you. Sorry.

Sadly the accordion is lowering the 7 to a 6 for me.

 
Opposite for me, 6 to 7

I'm one of the few people who actually can translate what she's saying.  She says, "I love you because you listen to Paradise Radio."

Bill said ".. from Madagascar .. "  and I started hoping King Julian would start singing.  This is nice too but I could use a little King Julian this morning.

...

Need a little more coffee.

This song carries me like a leaf in a Spring breeze, gently, softly, to amazing and previously unknown places.
 
You just blew by me - I'm on the same breeze.   I often think that it is a foreign language that makes me not like some of Bill's "world music", but this disproves that theory - I don't understand a single word of this, but loved it instantly.

I am SO sick of music in languages I don't understand!

Kidding. I'm sick of being so language-challenged that I barely master English.  This is a beautiful song - Ms. Said's voice is controlled, almost smug (with good reason) and, to quote romeotuma, "Sooo good for the ears."

I love this song - I love this artist.  And yes, the accordion (harpsicord?) adds a depth to the vocals that just makes it work perfectly.  Solid 9 for this one. And I'm hoping to hear more...{#Sunny}

Actually a catchy tune.  I especially like the squeezebox.  Very complimentary.

Smooth. What language is she singing in, and what about? It's always nice that RP leavens its output with selected quality non-English language numbers.

Yup.
That said, hats off to RP for all the World music they're playing already. Personally, however, a little more would not hurt at all.
