What a wonderful list for a great song and group. Looking forward to savoring them all. Here's one more: "Malalako" by the Madagascar band Tarika. First verse in English, then in French (the colonial language of Madagascar), and finally Malagasy (the indigenous language). Each version has its charms, but the Malagasy is the most moving. The progression is like going back to the African roots of American pop.
