Afri-tunes weekend!!!!!! yaay
culture is one of the factors that makes people of the world stand out. the world is full of divers wonderful culture one of which is the "Africa culture".
and in this culture is found so many aspects of which music is a rich one
i have carefully searched for an indeginous africa song that preaches about the values of been an african.
so here is a song from an awesome female artise from the 90's "Christy Essien" titled "seun rere" (do good)
"seun rere" is a song that teaches about an important value we posses as peoople, thats of "doing good" wherever we find ourseves.
in africa, it is believed that a child that behaves good is of the Father, but the bad one was trained by the mother.
wherever we find ourselves in the world let us bear in mind that good deeps are like steps of a ladder which can take us to great heights
selah!!

(My Child listen to me, all will be well with you)
Omo mi s′eun rere ti e a dara o
(My Child listen to me, all will be well with you)
Iya mi ma s'eun rere gb′adura fun mi
Baba mi ma s′eun rere gb'adura fun mi
T′omode ba wuwa buruku w'aan ni iya re lo ko
T′omode ba wuwa buruku w'aan ni baba re lo ko
Iya mi f′ona to da han mi l'aye
Baba mi f'iwa to da han mi l′aye
(I really do not understand this world i'm in)
Eyin ni olorun keji mi l′aaye
(Mothers, do good things, all will be well with us)
Baba wa e s′eun rere tiwa a dara o
Iya mi ma s'eun rere gb′adura fun mi
Baba mi ma s'eun rere gb′adura fun mi
(If a child does bad things, people will say the child's mother taught him)
T′omode ba wuwa buruku w′aan ni baba re lo ko
Iya mi f'ona to da han mi l′aye
Baba mi f'iwa to da han mi l′aye
(I really do not understand this world i'm in
You [My parents] are my second deities in life)
