Hope everyone in NY stays safe. Here's a little music for your Friday. This song is Allah B2y from The Nile Project musicians. I mentioned the project before. It works with musicians from all the countries impacted by the Nile river and water shortage. They tour together to educate people on the issue of water shortage. See second post for more on the project 1/2 https://youtu.be/Slf_oo4s33c?si=KRbRjr2q-V4Vvb1A
Countries that border on the Nile or have tributaries affected by the Nile are : Egypt, Eritrea Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, Sudan, So. Sudan Uganda, Burundi, Rwanda and the DRC. The link below is to a video of the artists discussing why there is tension around water and sovereignty and wondering whether their music can help. African music made by and for Africans! Check it out. https://youtu.be/Wj4OqEAk7aY?si=mcGORym60wEXWXPH
