I have always felt a very strong connection with Africa, a soul connection. When I heard African music for the first time, I felt that something very deep was moving within myself, something very alive. And since then I have felt a deep and natural respect for Africa and its culture. Later on I’ve had the opportunity to visit the continent a few times and I’ve always felt this ancestral connection. Racism has always been an interrogation for me: I can’ t even understand why white people could in any way consider themselves superior to other people.

I studied international relations in university and we studied the topic of “representations”: the way people where induced to think that another ethnicity was inferior to them in order to justify the exploration of colonisation. I started to understand better. This song is a positive mea culpa to Africa: I wanted to declare in higher voice my love and respect to the Mother- continent, mother of great civilisations, and even most probably mother of all of them. It is a message to empower afro-descendant people all around the world so that they feel proud of their origins. They say that in order to fight racism, white people need to position themselves too, so this is my positioning and I really hope that it will be received with the intention I had when I wrote the song.

This is a song I wrote to celebrate the life of my little friend Daisy McDonald who passed away in Jan 2024 at just 11 years old.
Music bound us together and I'm sure she's humming that tune wherever she is.
Her motto was: "The butterfly counts not months but moments, and has time enough."
This should inspire us all to enjoy every moment life has for us.
Rest in Peace Daisy, we miss you
