Must be noticed that the beautiful song 'M-Fie Nti One Biaa has a strong ressemblance with the romanian Madrigal's song DirLaiDaDa ,unfortunately Shanti is practically unknown in Romania,and Madrigal is a camera chorus,and their fans are hardly listen Shanti.Also,must be tell the romanian song is folk extraction.and very old too
