I hear they have good coffee.
Lets start simple. My expedition began while listening to some random Afro-Jazz music. The Nigerian composer went by the name of Fela Kuti. Fela means 'Love me.'--take that as you want...
The music was so new! Drums from every angle, saxophones swinging and bass thumping: the cherries in my ear had been popped.
While receiving auditory pleasure, I got an email advertising a study abroad tip to Africa.
The rest is history.
If you have a spare 30 minutes, listen to Fela Kuti. ODOO (Overtake Don Overtake Overtake) is an amazing song- and for the price of a cup of water, you will be supporting a culture other than your own.
1love
