about

"Talala" is a duet between Amala and Bruno Blum. It is the opening track on Amala & Blum's "Welikom 2 Lay-Gh-Us!" afrobeat album, which was recorded at Afrodisia Studio in Lagos, Nigeria, with a twenty-piece band comprising many of Fela Kuti's musicians.

The song depicts a singer and dancer trying to find a wife but not having enough money to pay the dowry to families of different ethnies, including Yoruba, Igbo and French. The character also needs to show his ability to dance, and his dance is named the Talala.

"Talala" est un duo entre Amala et Bruno Blum. C'est le premier titre de l'album d'afrobeat d'Amala & Blum "Welikom 2 Lay-Gh-Us!", qui a été enregistré au studio Afrodisia à Lagos, Nigeria avec un groupe de vingt personnes comprenant nombre de musiciens de Fela Kuti.

Cette chanson décrit un chanteur et danseur qui cherche une épouse mais qui n'a pas de quoi payer la dot aux familles de différentes ethnies, dont les Yorubas, les Igbos et les Français. Le personnage doit aussi monter son talent de danseur, et sa danse s'appelle le Talala.
