I'm Not A Politician; I Am A

In Those Years, When I Came To The States, People Were Always Asking Me Why I Didn't Sing Anymore. I'd Tell Them, 'i Sing All Around The World-asia, Africa, Europe-but If You Don't Sing In The Us, Then You Haven't Really Made It.' That's Why I'll Always Be Grateful To Paul Simon. He Allowed Me To Bring My Music Back To My Friends In This Country.

I Will Probably Die Singing.

I Ask You And All The Leaders Of The World: Would You Act Differently, Would You Keep Silent And Do Nothing If You Were In Our Place? Would You Not Resist If You Were Allowed No Rights In Your Own Country Because The Color Of Your Skin Is Different To That Of The Rulers, And If You Were Punished For Even Asking For Equality? I Appeal To You, And Through You To All The Countries Of The World, To Do Everything You Can To Stop The Coming Tragedy. I Appeal To You To Save The Lives Of Our Leaders, To Empty The Prisons Of All Those Who Should Never Have Been There.

African Music, Though Very Old, Is Always Being Rediscovered In The West.

Well There Is A Lot Of Work Here For Younger And Older Musicians Now. Our Ministry Of Culture Has Now Really Embarked On Changing Things For Artists, And It Is Getting Much Better. We Just Have To Organize Ourselves As Artists, And Then Things Will Be Better.
