As night falls across Africa, the upbeat rhythms and percussion are muted and parents begin to lull their children to sleep with soothing songs. In rural villages, the day comes to an end with parents singing soft ballads that tell stories of ancient kingdoms and long-cherished tales about ancestors. In Africas bustling cities, families keep traditions alive by singing songs that ease their children into the land of dreams.
On "mimi"(me), Mapumba sings about how thankful he is to be able to play the guitar and sing. He says everyone should follow his or her passion. "This guitar is my life. Thats why I will sing for the rest of my life. Thats why you have got to listen to me, and follow what your heart desires. It is the source for your happiness."
