There's a new advert from First Choice .. starts with a shot of the sky and has people floating in the sky.

The music is a variation of an old tune. The old tune is kiddyish .(I think) but the singer on the new version is amazing.

Anyone have any ideas, who the singer is. or where I can get this tune.

That's a song called "Mbube" - it's a traditional African song that was used as the basis for "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" - you know, the one they sing to Ross's monkey in that episode of 'Friends'.

Anyway, the version of it in the advert is by Miriam Makeba, and you can get it on iTunes.

Just to add - the part of the song they use for the advert is about 48 seconds into the track. It doesn't sound like the advert at first because there's some talking and stuff...
