‘Feel Me’ is the second track from a soon-to-be released EP by (Kinshasa-born) Finnish rapper Gracias. (‘HKI’ was a first.) I can’t remember last seeing a copy of King Leopold’s Ghost featured in a music video.

It’s great to see people who are concerned about issues beyond their community. It’s great to see people who are concerned with issues in Africa. Africa is a wonderful place, with diverse people, tribes and countries. However, I have a concern with your website. The title of your website, ‘Africa is a Country’ is misleading and incorrect. You want to educate your readers with accurate information. As an African woman myself, or rather more specifically Nigerian woman, even more specifically as an Igbo woman, I am not comfortable with the title of your website. You would never say North America is a country. That would be inaccurate. Also it commonly rubs my fellow Africans and I the wrong way when we are grouped into one, as a single country versus respected as diverse people from different countries; as other continents are. With all that said, Please change the name of your website. Thanks for your time and I hope you consider my request. Once again, thanks for all your hard work.
Great video – I wish I knew how you guys find these artists! My favorite contemporary Malawian musician is Lawrence Mbenjerehttp, I heard him on the radio there four years ago and have been hooked since.
