Kifo - Remmy Ongala (Tanzanian) 1989
Found it this week on my playlist from a very old account I had not accessed in 17 years.
Song recorded in the UK under Real World Records.
Album : "Songs for the Poor Man"
Haunting lyrics
He too succumbed in 2010 to what he sung about. This song only makes sense to us once we experience several deaths close to us.

Reminds me of "radios" in the 80s and early 90s. Just like the vinyl record players before them, now deep in the dustbins of history!
