I’m sure that, just like me, there are many Africans who can sing African songs whose lyrics they don’t understand. Africa being enriched with hundreds of languages and nations, many of us grow up to enjoy the tune, melody and strong voice of those who do not share the same mother tongue as we, and yet we still some how feel and understand the message.
One particular singer that I truly admire for her strong, beautiful voice is Zahara of South Africa. Besides having such a strong voice, this singer-songwriter-poet also knows how to rock the acoustic guitar. I had the pleasure of seeing her perform live in Pretoria when she joined us at a flag hand-over ceremony hosted by the ANC Youth League and the National Youth Development Agency of South Africa.
