"Living Darfur" (also known as "Living") is the first single from Mattafix's album Rhythm and Hymns, released in 2007. The beginning of the song sounds similar to a part of Madonna's song "Mother and Father", taken from her 2003 release American Life.[1]
The Zulu part of the song is a sample of South African song "Umagubane" by Chicco Twala.[2]
