Reading the title, I thought it was "angel-like", i.e. like an angel, but I hear something like "an-jay-lee-kay", i.e. Angelique. I got it from a collection called simply Music from Kenya.

I've been following it in a half-hearted sort of way, and this article in the Catholic Herald strikes me as an excellent assessment of the situation.
