Ma Ya Hi

This is a fun little track I discovered just a week ago. I have been aware that this track has been around for quite some time now. I have been loving it ever since I heard it! And this one looks like it could hit big here in the U.S. The track got broken into the U.S. by being played on NBC's Today Show with Matt Lauer and Katie Couric!

Give it a listen here.

Here is the review from Billboard Magazine.

In its original Romanian version ("Dragostea Din Tei"), this major slab of Euro dance/pop topped the charts in France, Germany, Romania and most every other European country. Then, Ultra released the original and English-language versions last fall—with nary a care from Americans. But then a homemade video popped up on the Internet, and all of a sudden, Ultra's phones began to ring. After a recent appearance on "Today," the label is now rushing this new Today Show mix to radio. This could very well become the novelty hit of 2005. It is culled from O-Zone's 2004 album, "DiscOzone."—MP
