Look at that man's face. In it is represented the many ails of Africa. Yellowed, empty eyes. Lines drawn across an old face like a map of sufferings. In this man's face is the face of Africa as I have seen it. The face of a hero who lived long enough to become the villain.

This passionate song about Africa really revitalized my hopes for the future and helped me realize that despite whatever happens Africa is a land of life. After the drought are the rains of Africa, and I bless them.

I can sense some sub-saharan African influence in this thing.... Though I can't stomach the beginning of this piece too much, I can hear some elements of the music my Nigerian friends listen to. I do like the inspiration behind the song though. It's just... beautiful... <3

2:18 onwards caught my ears and got me into it quite a bit. Sounded like the intro to some forest-y music. Just out of curiosity, is this meant to be a programme piece?

Admittedly, I found the ending a bit abrupt. But that ain't gonna stop me from saying that you had a heart of gold when you gathered inspiration for your piece.

All the best for the RAC x
