I grew up a white (mzungu) in America, to a racist father. This was one of the songs that got me interested in African music. 20 years later, i have spent living in Africa, with Africans.
Now i am an African. i speak several African languages Us africans may not have tons of money, but we have somethings the west can never take, great music, and community.
Proud to be African.
Asante sana ndugu. Asante mingi Maroon commandos !
Am really excited getting this song over here. I love this song ever since i was a little kid (in late 1980s). Some people here (in Tanzania) still think this is a Pare song. My father still has it. Being a Pare (my father is from Same, Kilimanjaro) makes me even more crazy with this hit. My body shivers with joy when I hear "......Kireti...." since its my grandma's surname. Thank you Taita and Kenyan people for this beautiful song! East Africa Pamoja!
My first trip to Harare back in the days wow, thanks for the words i fell in love with this song like i knew what it meant and for sure i felt the meaning that i now know.
Really life is full of hardships however it is songs like this which makes one strong
