Over half the population there are from my country South Sudan and we have the largest African refugee crisis. We have recently built a community hub at Kakuma Refugee Camp in North-West, Kenya. I use music as a vehicle to pass my message around the world.ĩ9% of donations for Gua Africa goes directly to support the work. I can dance to Chinese, French music I don’t need to know the words my body can understand what the sound is telling me what its telling me to feel and that’s what I love about music it’s a language that everybody understands, even babies in the womb. So its soothing, it’s a universal language. Each and every word has got a vibration that can influence us in a different way, so music is the only thing that can speak to you mind, your body your soul your cell system and influence you without you even knowing. The vibration that words give, even words are sound. But what I love is the energy of the people despite what they went through, the smile and the hope, still believing that tomorrow is going to come and turn out well is what fascinated me…how people get on with their lives and also when I think about where I am now there is so much to be grateful for and so much that I can do.Įverything vibrates, everything makes sound, when sound is organised in harmony it can become beautiful, sound is heaven I can look at it that sound is god. I returned when we were shooting my documentary War Child, its mixed emotions because everybody is gone, the war has stolen the soul of the entire nation 98% lost somebody. Returning to South Sudan there was a connection and mixed emotions it wasn’t the same place I left.

WHEN DID YOU RETURN TO SOUTH SUDAN, HOW DID IT FEEL FOR YOU AND HOW IS TO TODAY?
