The song is dedicated to the Zimbabwean president Robert Mugabe and his long time authoritarian rule of this African state.
While the entire population of Zimbabwe wrestles with hunger and cholera epidemic, Mugabe throws a lavish party for his 85th birthday that according to Times, includes "2,000 bottles of champagne (Moët & Chandon or 61 Bollinger preferred); 8,000 lobsters; 100kg of prawns; 4,000 portions of caviar; 8,000 boxes of Ferrero Rocher chocolates; 3,000 ducks; and much else besides."

All authoritarian regimes around the world look alike, and what binds them together is their insatiable lust for power. This song is dedicated to all of them.

K.O.F.Y is Winston Kofy Ahman, music producer and spoken word artist. He combines hip hop, dub and world sounds with spoken word poetry, rooted in his Nigerian-Jamaican descent. Ahman started as a crack dealer in his home town Lagos, Nigeria in the late seventies, but soon got involved in politics. For engaging in various activities against the rule of General Obasanjo, he spent a total of seven years in prison, where he once allegedly shared a cell with the great Fela Kuti. During the eighties, Ahman fled Nigeria and moved first to Kingston, Jamaica and then to Miami, Florida, where he got his moniker K.O.F.Y, working as a doorman in a Latino gay bar. By the arrival of the Bush administration in 2001, Ahman left the USA in fear of deportation and moved to Basel, Switzerland. He got involved in music, making beats on his laptop and improvising a set of self-centered post-political lyrics. His first full-length album under the title "Return Of The Secretary General EP" was recorded in just seven days, joining elements of political drama versus Mr. Lifestyles of the rich and famous. K.O.F.Y has recently moved to Belgrade, Serbia, where he is currently residing.

The album is available for free through San Francisco's online label 3am Devices: http://www.3amdevices.com/artists/kofy

    Posle citanja njegove biografije, mogu samo da kazem da je nasao pravu zemlju za zivot, koja u potpunosti odgovara njegovom nestasnom politickom duhu.

    C.O.F.Y. za predsednika.
