Whereas the song itself seems more African influenced. I'll have to listen to it some more, but I think I agree with other comments that the lead-in is really on the long side. I wonder if the song could be partly overlaid on this? Just a thought. I find the whole piece unusual enough to be interesting, without jarring. I suppose you could call the song itself 'soft' rap. -- Will J G
