World Music Songs About Barack Obama

For the past couple of months, people have been sending me links here and there of world music songs about Barack Obama. Some are great, some are meh, and I'm quite sure that some are still percolating in the brains of various musicians and we'll hear them soon. Anyhow, it's not much of a surprise to me that Barack Obama has gained favor in the world music community, even among artists who are not U.S. citizens. Some of the reasons are obvious (he has African roots) and some are obscure (his platform includes a plan to create a new category of artist/musician visas whereby it will become easier for international artists to tour the States). At any rate, he does seem to be getting the vast majority of support from artists in the world at large. For the moment, I'm considering my list of songs about Barack Obama to be a bit of a work in progress, because although these songs are phenomenal, I think more great ones are probably still on the way. Have you heard any gems recently? Leave a comment and let us know! Also, let us know if you stumble across any world music songs about John McCain. I haven't found any thus far, but it's possible that one or two might exist.
