This song addresses artists and musicians around the world to think carefully about the content of their art, the messages they spread, and
to carry a sense of responsibility for what they promote. I ask artists to recognise that they are powerful humans in society, who inspire and consequently lead many, especially the youth, to follow in their footsteps. I therefore ask artists to treat their position within society with responsibility and humility, and instead of spreading messages of degrading women, worshipping wealth, celebrating greed, and revering violence, be active role models for the next generation in inspiring positive change, productive goals, respect for one another and promote development.

Ballaké Sissoko is my favorite kora player, and following his musical life has led me to some of my most beloved musical discoveries.
This latest release is every bit as gorgeous as all of his prior work.
And it is so clear how he brings the best out of each of his collaborators. Charlie Moonbeam
