AFRICA THROUGH THE EYES OF MUSIC

Africa, land of rhythm and music
A symphony of sounds
echoing the beauty of this land
profound

'prata prata' goes the talking drum
in lyrical eulogy and praise
as baba ijebu sways his agbada from left to right

'gom gom gom' the 'ogene' calls
for a gathering at the square where
ancestors meet

Africa, land of rhythm where languages blend and cultures abound.
Gentleman Mike Ejeagha told tales
of the turtle and the elephant, an insight to the wisdom of the Africans

From Igbo, Yoruba, Hausa, Ashanti Ghana, Zulu South Africa, Bemba Zambia, Tuareg Mali, Ndebele Zimbabwe Africa shines through music, language and culture.

Africa my Africa,
land of rhythm and music
A symphony of sounds echoing the beauty of this land
