Time for a change up. I have added a new song to the Forum playlist, in honor of the presidential inauguration. It is a small world we live in, and our dreams are shared.
The song is by Johhny Clegg, originally with Sipho in the band "Juluka", but other versions followed. I hope you like it. It pulses with energy, optimism and hope:
Scatterlings of Africa
(An excerpt from the lyrics here)
Ancient bones from Olduvai
Echoes of the very first cry
"Who made me, here and why? --
Beneath this copper sun."
My very first beginnings
Beneath the copper sky
Lie deeply buried
In the dust of Olduvai
And we are scatterlings of Africa
Both you and I
We are on the road to Phelamanga*
Beneath a copper sky
And we are scatterlings of Africa
On a journey to the stars
Far below we leave forever
Dreams of what we were
and links to more will follow:

If you missed the special on HBO,
you can still watch it online:
* Phelamanga, where the world began
