INFORMATION ABOUT MOROCCAN SINGER JANNAT
From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jannat
"Jannat Mahid (Arabic: ???? ??????) (born January 6, 1986), known by her stage name Jannat, is one of the youngest female Arab artists to have graced the Middle East music scene. Born in Morocco and presently living in Egypt, Jannat sings in almost all Arabic dialects. Jannat is well known for her incredible voice and her love for Arabic classics, particularly Oum Khaltoum she admires since her childhood.

[...]

Career
From that date Jannat turned to a professional singer and released her first song "Efhamny Habiby" in 2004 which was a video clip also. At that time producer Ahmed Desouki was seeking new voices. He liked Jannat voice and signed a contract with her in 2005. From that day Jannat started to prepare for her new album Elli Beny W Benak to be issued in 2006. The preparation of the album took a year and half due to the desire of the producer to achieve success with the album. Jannat recorded 21 songs but the album contained only 10 songs. The album has achieved success and she made a video clip for the song "Aktar Min Sana".[3] The album songs were a collection of romance, sad, and songs that describes women's powerful feelings.[4]
Jannat released other albums with the label Good News 4 Music : GoodNews4Music Vol.1 and Hob Emtelak which was a great success in Egypt and in the Arab world. Jannat was then ranked as one of the best upcoming artists in the Middle East
In 2012, Jannat signed with the famous Arabic pop label Rotana for a three albums deal. At the time of signing, she already produced herself the first album Hob Gamed which gave Jannat international success and her hit "El Badi Azlam" along "Hob Gamed"[5] made her travel many countries. She made several concerts like "Hala Febrayer" in Koweit or "Souq Waqif" in Doha. Hob Gamed was also a bestseller and had significant selling figures in Egypt, Saudi Arabia...

Jannat will release in 2016, her fourth studio album Be Nafs El Kalam.[6]"

INFORMATION ABOUT TOLOGESE MUSIC GROUP TOOFAN
From https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=fr&u=https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toofan&prev=search
"Toofan is a musical group founded in 2005 in Togo whose instrumental is a new concept in West African music: the "cool-catch�". The dance itself seems simple, but it is a mixture of neck movements accompanied by a presentation of the feet opposite to the logic imposed by the movements of the neck. This concept was the subject of a report by France 24 as summer music. More precisely, it is the clip That magik benefited from this.

The group is also known for a new concept, the "gweta", appeared in 2013 and whose gesture aims to "dodge the jealous".

The group is composed of Masta Just and Barabas. He composed the anthem of the African Cup of Nations football 2012 2 and 2015.

Biography
They are childhood friends who grew up together: Master Just (Fatowou Kossivi) group mover and Barabas said "The Magician" (Blaise Mensah) toaster and rapper of the group. Being three at the beginning of their career, they are now two.

The Toofan export their music beyond West Africa: in the years 2010 they gave concerts in France , Germany and the United States of America , among others. In 2014 they toured France."

PANCOCOJAMS EDITOR'S NOTE ABOUT SELECTED COMMENTS FROM THIS SONG'S YOUTUBE DISCUSSION THREAD
"MaMa Africa" by Jannat Mahid featuring Toofan is another collaboration between singers in two or more African nations.

As of 9/8/2017 at 11:19 AM there were a total number of 5,752,135 views for this video. There were also a total number of 4,994 comments in this video's discussion thread. It should be noted that this is only one of several YouTube videos for this same song.

By far the most often used language for the comments in this discussion thread is Arabic and French is the second most frequently used language. There are a few comments in Spanish, a few in English, and a few in some other language/s.

Because I was curious, I used Google's translation feature on random Arabic comments and random French comments from this discussion thread. Many of those comments in Arabic and French praise the nation of Morocco and/or praise the song itself or praise the Moroccan singer Jannat. A considerable number of comments in this discussion thread also give respects to "mama Africa", and acknowledge and honor Morocco as an African nation.

Some comments voiced political and/or sociological opinions.

A number of comments referred to the Maghreb. Here's information about the Maghreb from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maghreb

The Maghreb (/'m�gr?b/[1] or /'m?gr?b/; literally "west, sunset";[1] Arabic: ???????? al-Ma?r�b; Berber: Tamaz?a, ???????; historically known as the Barbary Coast or Barbary States, (derived from Berber),[2][3] and the Land of the Atlas (derived from the Atlas Mountains)[4]) or the Greater Maghreb (Arabic: ?????? ?????? ?? al-Maghrib al-Kabir), is usually defined as much or most of the region of western North Africa or Northwest Africa, west of Egypt. The traditional definition as the region including the Atlas Mountains and the coastal plains of Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, and Libya, was later superseded, especially following the 1989 formation of the Arab Maghreb Union (????? ?????? ??????), by the inclusion of Mauritania and of the disputed territory of Western Sahara (mostly controlled by Morocco). During the Al-Andalus era in Spain (711�1492), the Maghreb's inhabitants, Maghrebis, were known as "Moors".[5] Morocco also transliterates into Arabic as "al-Maghreb" (The Maghreb).

Before the establishment of modern nation states in the region during the mid-20th century, Maghreb most commonly referred to a smaller area between the Atlas Mountains in the south and the Mediterranean Sea, often also including eastern Libya, but not modern Mauritania. As recently as the late 19th century it was used to refer to the Western Mediterranean region of coastal North Africa in general, and to Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia in particular.[6]

I didn't find any comments in either of the two discussion threads of this song that I skimmed which specifically mentioned the Togolese group Toofan.

Unfortunately, this is nonsense. In fact, the blacks in our beloved Morocco are subjected to ethnic discrimination and physical and psychological abuse by a huge number of racist Moroccans who distort their image. Everyone who lives in this country is considered a Moroccan despite his differences about me

"Arafat has the right to call him whatever you want. But in the Moroccan constitution its name is Morocco. I am a Moroccan. I speak only Arabic because the old Moroccan educational system did not yet study Amazigh, but Amazigh language today is an official language and a basic component of Moroccan identity. The same is true for other countries, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, and so called Morocco."
