Youssou N'Dour & Neneh Cherry: 7 Seconds

It represents more than a beautiful, touching or inspired song. It is a manifesto, off course, but its message is larger than you imagine. So, you discover it again and again. It is just great music, splendid voice s and precise definition of humankind. Enough for see it, hear it. Again and again.

This hauntingly beautiful and mellow synth ballad from the early 1990s is a truly memorable track. Combined with its black-and-white music video-featuring diverse people walking through urban and natural landscapes-it creates a unique cultural experience.

It's rare for a trilingual song, especially one incorporating a West African language, to achieve such international success. From what I understand, the song's title refers to the first moments of a child's life-a precious, fleeting time before they become aware of the world's problems and violence. It's a powerful and thought-provoking concept that likely played a role in the song's widespread appeal.

And of course, the chorus is so catchy and unforgettable, it sticks with you long after the music fades.
