Featured Song:
“Dunia” (World) features lyrics in Bambara, a West African language sung by Koto Brawa, and Spanish, performed by featured guest singer Yudelkis Lafuente of Havana, Cuba. The song seeks to remind us that money and possessions are not what really matters in life. “What you hold in your hand is not yours / What is in your house is not yours / Money cannot buy what is not yours / You cannot claim what is not yours / A lot of money / Little affection / Full pockets, but an empty heart.”
