But the song name IS "Africa." Here is a little collaboration by Amadou and Miriam featuring K'naan (who I sometimes feel like is Mos Def in disguise).
An interesting side note I just learned on wikpedia:
Amadou & Mariam are a musical duo from Mali, composed of the couple Amadou Bagayoko (guitar and vocals) (born in Bamako 24 October 1954) and Mariam Doumbia (vocals) (born in Bamako 15 April 1958). The pair, known as "the blind couple from Mali" met at Mali's Institute for the Young Blind, and found they shared an interest in music. Amadou lost his vision at the age of 16 while Mariam became blind at age 5 as a consequence of untreated measles.
