Musi-O-Tunya - Starving Child

April 04, 2014  /  V.P. Smith

Though I wanted to come to you with my own thoughts on this track, I'll exploit comparative advantage and tell you that James Bullock at Think Africa Press has some great things to say about the background of this release.

Listen to this in its proper context at: http://thinkafricapress.com/zambia/review-musi-o-tunyas-give-love-your-children

Here is what I will tell you:

  • Super charming baby wails at 2:00
  • I have a soft spot for platonic love songs
  • The muted trumpets here made me raise my hands up to the top of my car and open up my sunroof, and sing-scream, "YEAH!" right along with everyone else.  Traffic on National and Palms be damned.
  • Don't let anyone take the joy from inside of you.
