African wedding songs

Hi Guys,

Please help a museke sister in need fela :-) Im looking for nice African songs to play at a wedding, but they have to be non-conventional not too singy singy (ie, songs like african queen and brenda fassies list of wedding songs not an option). My best friend is getting married and she has put upon me the amazing task of compiling a song from each of the 52 African countries! If you have a fav song (thats not very popular) thats played in yr country, please share!!! I can take care of alot of other countries too but would love suggestions.

Thanks!

Ei ei ei, Jah, show me the way
Cuz I'm coming home

Chorus
I'm coming home to my baby girl who was there for me
Who stayed with me through the storm
Will she be waiting and still care for me
Will she forgive me and hold me
Girl I'm lonely
Everybody who hears this song say a prayer for me
I'm coming home.

Verse 1
Long time ago, I met a girl on a lonely road
It took a while for me to get her talk to me
But eventually I succeeded
Later on we found a love,
Definitely blessed by our father above
Then I made my money and I met this Delilah and aba

Every day is not a holiday
My life's like a subway o
I know this love don't last

Look at me tell me what you see
Do you believe this love is real o
I know this love don't last

I have come from faraway
To see this go down the drain
I have waited patiently
And this is what I get
Emotionally failing me

My whole wild world is caving in
I try so hard to express myself but the woman in me
Oh oh oh don't fade away

Chorus
My mama say baby be careful
If any body comes to say I love you, oh oh oh oh
My papa say baby I warn you
If anybody comes to say oh, I love

Verse
She can’t stop calling
Her phone ring tone is in my memory
Since the first time we met
She has been like this
That’s why i treat her like a queen
She calls me a king
Like i do realize
We gonna raise a family
I can’t deny that i love her die
She be the woman of my life
Bros no be lie
I feel alright
Whenever she’s by my side
I proud to be her Mr.
