Former Sudanese child soldier and hip-hop artist Emmanuel Jal talks about losing faith, the healing power of music, and why his new song 'We Want Peace' (which includes appearances from Alicia Keys, George Clooney, Nelson Mandela) is all about southern Sudan's vote for independence.

For the full interview watch George Stroumboulopoulos Tonight on CBC Television, Friday January 7

  • I love him. <3

  • Thank you for your perseverance. You are a hero Emmanuel. Your efforts are a big reason we have a Southern Sudan state.

  • his words are beautiful... music can set you free, and we are all good people with power to do good, and not fight although people may make us believe we cant..and cant have power over ourselves.. very posotive message, and beautiful person

  • Jesus Christ will give you hope and set you free. Music will not set you free. trust in jesus. We have no power in our selves!!!!!!! you are being decieved by satan! Faith in jesus will give you POWER FROM THE HOLY SPIRIT. Satan disguises himself as light! you think you can do good without God? without Jesus? without his spirit. NO. Repent and receive power and revelation from God. There is only ONE God and if you are not for him you are against him.

  • Waw, this guy went through some hellish stuff.

  • To bad I haven't yet found my "music"...

  • Hi Jal, thank you for your honest words and I believe you are (still) sincere. I beg you to please not sell out to the likes of Jimmy Carter, George Clooney, Kofi Annan. They are not behind the southern Sudanese cause, they are southern Sudan's enemies! Stay true to your heart and don't sell out to Satan like so many before you have!

  • The sincerity of his words is extremely powerful.

  • wind yo pum pum.

  • soooo goodlooking
