@best Afro While I understand the skepticism, it is important to remember that Africa (one of the most colonize continents on the planet) is not a monolith. Every day people.of different ethnicities flock to its countries to build a new life. The notion of a white Rwandan may not be as cerebral as we think. 😊

Deserves to be in a golden hall of world music! Fun, but after this song I deepened my knowledge about Gambia, which before i had shallow enough, unfortunately to confess. You see, Sona, you are a daughter of the country she really can be proud of!

@Kiangura Jason You will first know why
This is that most African countries voted in favor of establishing a fictitious state on our lands, which was historically recognized as belonging to Morocco, and then Morocco decided to leave the African Union.
But in 2017, we came back
And you should read something from our history and our connection to the brothers in West Africa, especially Senegal and Mali

I am from Pakistan; when I was little, my parents moved us to Africa, and I was raised there. We had some wonderful times and made beautiful memories. My siblings and I learned the language, and remember it to this day. Now, we've left Africa, but to me, Africa is my childhood, Africans are my people, and African music often takes me back to that lovely place in my mind; a place of perfection. That's why I was drawn to this stellar song; it took me there again. Thank You for uploading it.
