Kushereka Afrika
Yaliyopita. Sasa. Baadaye.
Our theme for The Virtual Music Imbizo 2021 is: KUSHEREKA AFRIKA – YALIYOPITA. SASA. BAADAYE. In English, it means “CELEBRATING AFRIKA – THE PAST.THE PRESENT. THE FUTURE”.
The Sankofa bird became an obvious symbol for this … according to Wikipedia: “Sankofa is a word in the Twi language of Ghana that translates to “Go back and get it” and also refers to the Bono Adinkra symbol represented either with a stylized heart shape or by a bird with its head turned backwards while its feet face forward carrying a precious egg in its mouth.”
