Musical Protection Poem by St Antoine de la Vuadi

Musical Protection

Rating: 2.8


Land of Music
A theory about my country
Who has a large number
Of famous musicians.

Kalé Jeff, Ray Lema,
Madilu System, Papa Wemba,
Wendo Kolosoy, Franco Luambo,
Lokua Kanza and Tabuley Rochereau
Are musical phenomena.

But…

That great box of rhythms
Didn’t protect our brothers
From the weapon of killers
Organised in tribal teams.

We need a musical protection
Every “muzicana ” from Congo
Has to insist on the war
That is not about to go.
