Thank you. I'm a Kenyan. One thing I've learnt from all Tuku's songs is that you can't just rush to interpret them, otherwise you'll get home with an empty basket. Of course, they can be interpreted in at least 2 ways. So, what could be the 2nd meaning of this song? Is it like a government oppressing (and drawing no peace from) the comfort of the people?
R.I.Power. Fly high brother Oliver. Honor King! Love and light always, in all forms and in all places. And, thank you for music that was with I & I at so many stages of life's journey.
È vero quello che disse Mandela. Che nella musica dell'Africa - e in questa certamente - al di là d'un tema triste, del dolore, della malinconia, trovi sempre la speranza. Come un nucleo indistruttibile di felicità. Le voci, gli strumenti, le espressioni, delicati e vitali, te lo dicono. Perché, in fondo, si canta? È proprio vero che si canta perché siamo gli Esseri Umani. Per la gioia di avere la voce.
