Dedicated to the late great musician, actor, activist, Harry Belafonte: his two grandkids Amadeus and Sarafina wrote two verses of this song for their grandfather and recorded them with Sangha Tierra
"Sawubona" is a Zulu greeting that means, "I see you". "Sawubona" conveys that you see a person's experiences, passions, pain, strengths, weaknesses, and future. It's an invitation to be fully present and witness another person. It's an agreement to affirm and consider the potential and obligation between two people. It's a way to vitalize another person by giving them your full attention and presence.
Sangha Tierra's afrobeat tune "Sawubona" is dedicated to the forgotten continent of Africa and the late great Fela Kuti. We see you Africa!
