I'm still a soldier, fighting with my pen and paper for peace till the day I cease.

In Africa, music is for everything, Music was originally used for community. That was what music was for.

Peace may be negotiated by politicians, but it is something written in hearts and minds not on pieces of paper

Music is powerful. It is the only thing that can speak into your mind, your heart and your soul without your permission.

I am proof that one person can rise above any challenge, and if I can, then so will others if they are given the chance.

In Africa, you know, if you're poor, at least you can go to the forest and share some mangoes with the gorillas and monkey.

I still have nightmares of dead comrades, a long time ago, talking to me. 'Emmanuel, don't forget about us, don't give up, keep telling our story.'
