"Living Darfur" (also known as "Living") is the first single from Mattafix's album Rhythm and Hymns, released in 2007. 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] The Zulu part of the song is a sample of South African song "Umagubane" by Chicco Twala.[2]

It was released on 16 September 2007, which is "Global Day for Darfur".[3][4][5] The video was shot in Eastern Chad on the border of Darfur. Matt Damon makes a brief cameo in the video.[6]
