The Power of Song
Description
Tiken Jah Fakoly is a star with a conscience. A hugely popular reggae singer from the Ivory Coast, he criticizes politicians through lyrics. As a result, he lives in exile in Mali. Unafraid of controversy, Fakoly believes that the real freedom Africans deserve will only start when education is accessible to all. Malian actress and social activist Fatoumata Coulibaly leads a campaign against female circumcision, a deeply engrained cultural practice.
