“We see how Bob Marley or Miriam Makeba’s music touched souls and opened people up during apartheid. Fela, for instance, used music to address the social injustice in Nigeria; the inequality of life between the haves and havenots,” explained Kwubiri recently. “A lot of artists use music to talk about what is not working in the system. Music can communicate and also criticize what is not going well.”
