    LOL, I remember that, her counsellors had to tell her that Africa is a continent, not a country, assuming that she knew what a continent is.

    Wiki to the rescue:

    Côte d'Ivoire ( English pronunciation: /?ko?t di'vw?r/ ; French: [kot di'vwa?] ), formerly named, and often referred to as the Ivory Coast, officially the Republic of Côte d'Ivoire, is a country in West Africa. The government officially discourages the use of the name Ivory Coast in English, preferring the French name Côte d'Ivoire to be used in all languages

    Sorry to be so stubborn, Snowbird, it seems that english Wikipedia is a bit Anglo Saxon self orientated. Côte d'Ivoire became a french protectorate in 1843, then a colony, until it became independent in 1960. Unless it was called Ivory Coast (which is Côte d'Ivoire translation) before...called so even by the French ?

    Perpetuum Jazzile, a Slovenian choir, performs 'Africa' a cappella, simulating a rain storm at the beginning.... so you may need to turn your sound up a little at the beginning to hear the rain drops begin:
