Dear musicians!

I'm a brazilian journalist and I'm writing an article about brazilian
songs which have a version in another language. Only songs with
quality, which rhythm doesn't matter. The idea is to motivate a
discussion about the process of translation and adaptation.

I have already found a lot of examples, but no songs from Africa. I'm
writing to you because of it.

This articlie is for Itaú Cultural, an Institut in Brazil that works
with culture und art. They make a magazine called "Continuum", which
is sent by mailing. You can read also in internet:
www.itaucultural.org.br/continuum. It's monthly and each edition has a
different subject. For May the subject is languages.

I need to send the article until the end of April. So I have still
time, if you have something to send to me.

Thank so much. I hope you can help me.
