Roger is a white Kenyan. I'm a white Tanzanian. It's wonderful how he captured the spirit of Africa. Just like he felt sailing away from Kenya, I broke my heart to leave my bush-home, and sail away from Tanzania. I've never forgotten the wonderful watu, the amazing animals, the Swahili language. I'm not a musician, I didn't sing about my experience. I tried to recapture it in writing. And Roger's songs inspired me.
heis my next door neigbour and like to cut the grass at midnight after eating a 3lb box of chocolates and a bottle of drambui, but he never sings unless in the garden shed
Ah si, la bandera de Peru. Esa cancion se dedico a mi bella amiga Romina (zahnyx), ella esta nacida en Peru, ahora viviendo en los EEUU. Es la foto de ella en el frente del video :)
hi pequinito,puzzled by romina saying laying down on moms bed.does she sleep standing.looks like sat up to me and my feet are on the ground.nice sound.best regards.
lol! it's the way I cropped the picture, she's actually propped up on her mom's bed, not fully reclining. You can see the full shot in the photo gallery on her web site :)
Oh, Pequinito, this is so touching! I remember this picture was taken when I was laying down on my mom's bed. This brings so many memories to me! Your singing is so soothing and beautiful. I feel so honored! Thanks a million, Pequinito. Thank you for all the joy you always give to my heart!
well sung again pequinito,you seem to be back on form.i bet you have a secret room in your house the walls and ceiling covered in pics.of a certain lady.like in the alan partridge fan episode,beyond pequinitas eyes.thank you.
Yes, Romina, you, your mom and your kitties are my best of friends, it is good to see that your photo really fits in well with the lyrics of this song.
Thank you, my friend and sister Pequinita. My mom is always asking me how you and Pequinito are doing. It always makes her so happy to receive greetings from you. Love and hugs back to you in the name of my mom, kitties and me. Muah!
Yes, Romina. You, your mom and kitties are always in my heart and Pequinito and I feel that we know you and your family through your singing and our communication with you.
This is the best cover ever.
