Singing Africa

One wmay wonder how Zambians survive anywhere in the world. This Little Reminder... sums it up nicely:

love Africa abundantly for her songs.
Africa is a singing continent; songs being so rich in words, in feeling and in emotions.
In Africa, we have a wealthy singing culture. No matter how dire the situation, we sing.
When a child is born we sing chant and dance; when one of us dies, we sing chant and dance.
We sing to keep our energies churning when working in the fields, we sing when pounding foodstuffs, we sing in rhythm with our simple tools.
Yes, life is simple and basic in my singing Africa.
We sing when with the plenty, we sing when faced with injustice, we sing when faced with justice; our birds even sing with us.
Oh God! Africa is a song.
Singing heals us, singing consoles us, singing soothes our souls, and singing generates hope.
Singing is life in our Africa
Oh, what a singing tradition! Africa, what a singing continent, you make me love you more and more.
