Amadou and Mariam : "Africa" ft. Black Thought (Live on Fallon) (Video)

1:42 p.m. · June 10, 2009 · by Andrew Winistorfer

We already posted about Jimmy Fallon's musical guest last night, Mos Def, who performed with the Roots. But on Monday night, African duo Amadou and Mariam performed "Africa" with Black Thought standing in for K'Naan, who handles the rapped and verse portions on Amadou and Mariam's Welcome to Mali. The performance is pretty mellow, and Amadou and Mariam look quietly confident as they hold court in the center of the stage.

Welcome to Mali is out now. [Culture Bully]
