Last week, when I posted Essous and Nino and read they

feel their version of El Manicero is the best African one, I

got this idea. I made a collector with 15 versions of the song.

I am sure you can come up with loads of versions I did

not use, there are so many but here are some of my favourites.

Hope you like them too..
