Rapture: The Afro Celt Sound System and "My Secret Bliss"



The The Afro Celt Sound System, which fuses modern electronic dance rhythms with traditional Irish and West African songs, brings us our random song for today. The Afro Celt Sound System were formed by British producer Simon Emmerson and Afro-pop star Baaba Maal in 1991. Since then they've been proclaimed a world music supergroup, and have collaborated with Peter Gabriel, Sinead O'Connor, Robert Plant, Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh, Ayub Ogada and many other pop and world stars. One of their members, Iarla O'lionaird, is also part of the Irish supergroup The Gloaming. This song, My Secret Bliss, can be found on their 1999 release Volume 5: Anatomic. The song has simple lyrics:

Return like children
We stumble into the sun
Into the sun, into the sun

Return like children
We stumble
We found a reason together
We stare into the sun
