"Living Darfur" (also known as "Living") is the first single from Mattafix's forthcoming album Rhythm and Hymns, released in 2007. The song already charted on the iTunes Store charts in several countries and is also released in the United States. 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]
