Do you know who sings the song from this commercial?

Question

Does anyone know the name of the song and artist that sings in the First Capital commercial? Well, I don't know if it's First Capital - pretty sure I got the name wrong, but that it does have Capital in the name.

It's an African song...

The commercial is advertising the leg room on long haul flights, and its just a blue sky and every 5 seconds or so you see someone jumping in the air... all I can figure out from the lyrics of the song is it goes something like "hey hey hey mamma...."

I realllllllllllllllllly want to know who sang it so I can go and buy some of her music... there's just something about that song!

Can anyone help???

Hiya,

Thanks all for your answers.... it's not the British airways commercial... I know which one you mean...

It's not Ladysmith Black Mombazo (a male group). I love them, have a few of their albums... It's a female singer, with quite a deep, rich voice...

Answer 1

Could be Lady Black Mombasa (I think thats correct) Yes,they did the Heinz commercial and have also sang on some of Paul Simons tracks ie:Diamonds on the soles of her shoes'.Hope this is correct and of some help.

Answer 2

I don't know if I am thinking of the right advert but I think it might the Bristish Airways Advert you might be thinking of. The advert is set with a child sitting on the plane and there are dolphins jumping throught the clouds.

If that is the advert you are thinking of, the song is 'leaving on a jet plane' and is sung by Sophie Barker from the band Zero 7.
