Asa-Fire on the Mountain

Just discovered the beautiful Asa, a Nigerian french singer-songwriter. This song has a hopeful and happy melody, which ironically and successfully conveys and transcends the strong message of stopping violence and the everyday wrongdoings we see, but do nothing about.
Let 2011 be a year of conscience and new beginnings.

And oh yes: About 14 days until I leave for France.
I'm currently wandering through the interwebs, searching for some french music groups. I'm open to any suggestions!
