Any artist is welcome to send us a track via freshonthenet.co.uk anytime between Monday lunchtime and Wednesday evening (or when we receive 200 submissions, whichever is sooner) - and all our moderators, including Tom Robinson, will listen to every track. This is our full inbox from the week beginning Mon 26th May 2025: from Friday afternoon you'll be able to hear our shortlist and pick your favourites on this week's Listening Post which will appear at freshonthenet.co.uk/batch571

If a track you submitted does not appear in this list, it’s probably because another of your tracks appeared in our Fresh Faves or on the BBC Music Introducing Mixtape during the last three months — we ask that artists featured on either wait three months before resubmitting to give others a chance. 

We also don’t accept short previews or SoundCloud Go tracks that can only be heard as 30 second previews, and tracks made private after submission, which cannot be included in playlists. You will be able to resubmit the track in future. Tracks (and remixes of tracks) that have been previously submitted, and tracks from banned artists will also be removed.

Sous le soleil d'Afrique

Oohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Le rythme court dans nos veines  
La danse fait tomber les chaînes  
Mani au ciel ensemble on chante  
Le cœur léger la vie est grande

Oya oya néew nga viens danser  
Sous le soleil d Afrique viens rêver  
Yow waa kër gi chante avec moi  
Le rythme nous emmène là bas

Nos cœurs battent voix d’espoir  
Dans la nuit claire sous la gloire  
Main dans la main on avance vite  
Le feu sacré jamais ne s'évite

Oya oya néew nga viens danser  
Sous le soleil d Afrique viens rêver  
Yow waa kër gi chante avec moi  
Le rythme nous emmène là bas

Oya oya néew nga viens danser  
Sous le soleil d Afrique viens rêver  
Yow waa kër gi chante avec moi  
Le rythme nous emmène là bas

Djembé et kora en harmonie  
Sentez la force et l’énergie  
Unis dans la joie les âmes brillent  
Le monde entier danse et scintille

Oya oya néew nga viens danser  
Sous le soleil d Afrique viens rêver  
Yow waa kër gi chante avec moi  
Le rythme nous emmène là bas

Dansons chassons la mélancolie et transformons la tristesse en énergie  
Les rayons du soleil réchaufferont nos corps et nos amours  
Dansons jusqu'à l'ivresse  
Dansons mon amour  
Dansons mon amour  
Dansons mon amour

Oya oya néew nga viens danser  
Sous le soleil d Afrique viens rêver  
Yow waa kër gi chante avec moi  
Le rythme nous emmène là bas

Oya oya néew nga viens danser  
Sous le soleil d Afrique viens rêver  
Yow waa kër gi chante avec moi  
Le rythme nous emmène là bas
