This is a great track,musically,most probably lyrically too,but it has the language barrier which is a pity as in this genre it’s the kernel of the fruit.I do think it will go from strength to strength in Africa,as it needs pretty low outside input,read equipment and is in fact rooted in African traditions of Griots and Imbongis,where the youth can express critisism in a metaphorical sense.And have success with it,as a political tool, as they have had in Senegal.Mr.Bongo certainly needs Mo’ Fire to push him off his throne.This was where Bob Marley went on his first visit to Africa,dissapointed that his first concert was a private birthday bash for Mister Bongo and not a public affair.But maybe his judgement was a bit misted at the time by him having an affair with Pascaline Bongo,the dictator’s daughter.She later became Minister of Foreign Affairs! Sorry to say this,but Bob also had his misses,mostly big eyed does,clouding his judgement.
