The language is French. But the band is from the Ivory Coast (one time French colony) in west Africa.

Two songs. Two languages. Contrasting emotional feels. But both have virtually the same title:
"Opening Doors".

The Dutch "Offne de Tur" (open the door) is a song that (oddly enough) actually has to do with autism. But besides that I dont know a word. Its quite emotionally affecting despite that somehow. Dont understand a word of the Gloria Estafan song either except the title "Abriendo Puertas" (opening doors). But it gets my body moving. :D

I can't remember what lead me to this, possibly just Youtube algorithms, but it's a great find. Sadly my Portuguese is a bit rusty (she's from Cape Verde) but very strong piece.

You didn't say 'post an album' but this is pretty good as well:
