Tapha Niang is a piece of music in LittleBigPlanet. It can be heard in Swinging Safari, the first level of The Savannah.
Reasons for Controversy[]
In LittleBigPlanet, Tapha Niang was originally the full song. However, the lyrics had to be removed when it was discovered that the lyrics contained text from the Qu'ran.
The release of LittleBigPlanet was delayed because of this and the song was edited to be an instrumental in the game. However, it has been revealed that artist Diabate is Muslim himself, which causes a debate as to whether the lyrics of the song were to be removed.
