Salif Keita "Africa"

[@phindimoteane9904]

As a South African, we missed an opportunity to open the Fifa 2010 World Cup with this song. This was the song!

[@lerchebila9901]

i agree with you, is the B.

[@edmoredzambo78]

The chance was not missed our great African weakness is that of not honoring and promoting African talents, we prefer Western talents at the expense of our great African Brothers and sisters.

[@kizambohermaton3514]

Right.

the cup was not only for African people but all the world, but i understand u. ❤❤

As a Zimbabwean born under the Bob Mugabe regime ,l had no choice but become a Pan-Africanist .Our airwaves blasted African music ,Salif Keita and the beautiful Cesaria Evora were the sound track to my childhood .Now living in the diaspora and a grown ass man ,l believe Zimbabweans are the most Pan-Africanist nation and when Bob said "Tony Blair keep your England and l will keep my Zimbabwe ",he was express self love equivalent to Mohamed Ali refusing to go to Vietnam .I am a deeply proud African ,wish l could share my pride .

Very true bro... I totally agree with you but tend to disagree that Bob (blessed memory) is the best pan-africanist of our era. Nope.. it's up for debate... We need to create categories and x-ray their works and contributions to the pan-african struggle through those mirrors... Only then can we be able to say categorically who that big show fits... I think mine is Thomas Sankara...

As a Nigerian, i cant understand or speak French but i have streamed this song from three different platforms in the past 3 hours just to have a full taste of it. It resonates to me like the golden era of African pride. Oh Africa, how much i want you to know that our hope is thee. I have never felt home sick like i do now from Canada. Merci kaita salif
