Saga Africa
"Saga Africa" (subtitled "Ambiance Secousse" in smaller letters on the single cover) is a song recorded by the former professional tennis player Yannick Noah, released in 1991 as the first single from his debut album, ''Black & What''. The song is also available on the singer's album entitled ''Live'', released in 2002.
==Background, writing, music and lyrics==
The album ''Black & What'' was a success (certified Gold), and the single "Saga Africa", that mixes a special and sporty dance (a kind of African caterpillar), became one of the summer hits in France. Yannick Noah created the surprise performing the song on December 2, 1991, at the Palais des Sports of Gerland, Lyon, during the honour tour of the Davis Cup just after the victory of the French team that he was the captain, accompanied by his team for the dance.〔Elia Habib, ''Muz hit. tubes'', p. 210 (ISBN 2-9518832-0-X)〕
Yannick Noah composed the lyrics himself, a mixture of French and Cameroonian expressions, while the rest of the album ''Black & What'' is mainly in English. He deliberately sings with a relatively pronounced accent. The lyrics include a tribute to the footballers of the Cameroon national football team named Les Lions Indomptables, especially Roger Milla, François Omam-Biyik and Thomas Nkono, whose names are mentioned in the words. He also refers to Paris and Yaoundé, soukouss and makossa. The music uses a sample of a Snap!'s song, "Mary Had a Little Boy".
