The singer starting at 3:00 is the Senegalese singer Aby Ngana Diop who was highlighted in this awesometapesfromafrica offering. Found this quote online:

Diop was born in the Dakar region and was the area's most famous tassukat (tassu being a form of sung Wolof rhythmic verse that is often used to impart traditional values to children). . . . She performed in Europe a few times and appeared on stage with Doudou N'Diaye Rose. Most of her performances though were at baptisms and weddings in and around Dakar. I spoke with Mbaye Gueye, who produced the cassette, and he knew nothing about her. I've also spoken to several music journalists in Dakar. . . nothing. I'll keep you posted." Matt also reports that he's heard that Aby Ngana Diop passed away in the late '90s, between '96 and '98, although he can't confirm this.

The song is R. Stevie Moore-level catchy and the video keeps getting creepier the more I watch it. And it only has 76 views, which is kind of tragic.
