Question
When I was in China, a woman that owned a restaurant told me that when she was young she learned Communists songs about Africa.  This would make sense, since during the sixties and early seventies, China and African nations were trying to unite against western powers.  What I would like to know is where could I find some of these Chinese communists songs about Africa, or Africa and China uniting, etc?

Answer
Hello Antonio,

I am sorry but I don't know anything song about China and African countries. It's very possible in old times to have politicized songs.

Maybe the lady knows some while I don't as we are in different generation. Those songs are no longer popular (that doesn't mean the relationship between the 2 sides are not strong as before!)

Cheers!
