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

The conqueror writes history, they came, they conquered and they write. You don't expect the people who came to invade us to tell the truth about us.

I have to go and say farewell to all the countries that I have been to, if I can. I am 73 now, it is taxing on me.

Africa has her mysteries, and even a wise man cannot understand them. But a wise man respects them

You are damned and praised, or encouraged or discouraged by those who listen to you, and those who come to applaud you. And to me, those people are very important.

Age is getting to know all the ways the world turns, so that if you cannot turn the world the way you want, you can at least get out of the way so you won't get run over.

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