But if you are going to wear blinders then you do not know the world.

It's a really unfair world because life is, where I am; all day long we listen to American music. So I don't see why the radios in the U.S. cannot even put aside one hour a day just to play music that is not American.

And I believe that it becomes a troubled continent because there are those who must always cause confusion so that we do not keep these natural resources.

I have one thing in common with the emerging black nations of Africa: We both have voices, and we are discovering what we can do with them.

I titled the album Reflections because I am reflecting on my music career.

If given a choice, I would have certainly selected to be what I am: one of the oppressed instead of one of the oppressors.

African music, though very old, is always being rediscovered in the West.
