This man is a prophet. And when i think of what he is saying and then I think of what's going on with Occupy Wall Street--there are mighty parallels here. Of course, Africa's problems are different than ours. And yet, how many in the US are descendants of slaves, survivors of genocide, how many have endured prejudice and Jim Crow and denial of equal access? How many are given the sh*tty end of the economic stick? How many executed/jailed? OWS activists are calling for economic parity. WeR1!
if every person who watched this video gave a dollar a day for a year, it would sum up to more than 17 millions, "keep on working, work together" for a continent: AFRICA.
I wish he could send a copy of this song to all our African leader, i hope it's going to soften their hearts of stone! Deep and beautiful lyrics. Wow what a voice... 1:50 (goosebumps)♥♥.
Mama Afrika..the truth will be found out..Jah trials jahtribulations ...Jahsland ..it is easier for a camel to go thru the eye of a needle than for a rich mon to enter the gates of heaven..an a dem gates ist 50 mile wide...give thanks in all things..we are the solution and as Fela' sez"MUSIC IS JAHS WEAPON' praise H.I.M.
absolutely the best thing I have seen in a long long time. He has the spirit of a continent shining through his voice. The world needs more people like him, with his kind of energy and passion.
This is so chilling and so beautiful, I teared up a little. What a great voice! and what a great continent! I am so proud to be African. Africa has so much potential and could be the FIRST continent if it weren't for our corrupt leaders, Bretton Woods institutions, and the West's machinations. May Allah blesses this continent!
This message should be all over the world like the seven seconds tune. If it were not for the Greed of "THE FEW" all over the world that work to keep us from uniting and being able to work together. These "FEW" even keep our US children from learning important things such as Math and not helping us to get along with even our neighbors and by keeping the poor poorer. Love and Peace! Nancy
