He asumed the throne of Kajoor
And became well-known for his festive reign
Where every occasion was reason for
Celebration in great style
Having inherited a rich oral tradition
He encouraged local musicians
And his patronage gave rise to the flourishing of
The music known as mbaboor
Ah! Birima!
A day spent in your presence
Was the picture of hospitality!
This music was transmitted by the griots
Who painted vivid portraits of the kingdom
Mbaboor became inextricably linked
To the history of Kajoor
Most importantly, it forged a new and enduring link
Between royalty and the common people
Where relations had been different before
As the clases lived and struggled and
Celebrated together
Common experience allowed them to identify
With one another
Ah! Birima!
A day spent in your presence
Was the picture of hospitality!

Africas Wild Side-Battle of the Sexes Episode 01

After watching Wode Maya in his recent video entitled Stop France from Spreading COVID -19 vaccines in Africa. Our 9 year old son saw it and said I must support Wode Maya in sharing about this. Khafre did the camera work and ****isted with the editing too. So you may see some hard cuts which had great info but some iffy shots. So please send him some encouragement on doing his first video. He cared so much he said Mum let's make a video right now it's important. To let everyone know we agree with Wode Maya. My sincere apologies the 36 year old Mum is called Kayla Williams not Kim apologies and condolences to her family.
