Africa has been troubled for a long time - well, the world has been troubled ever since I was born.

I'm travelling more than ever. I don't have the answer as to why, but the demand seems to have grown as I've got older.

I grew up with protests, marches, demonstrations, struggle. But I come from a clan of community workers.

I don't think what I do is influenced by suffering. I come from a talented people who are prolific in music and dance.

When I left South Africa in 1960 I was 20 years old. I wanted to try to get an education, and music education was not available for me in South Africa.

All my experiences removed geography from my world.
