About "Mali La Paix"
Compelled to contribute to the messages of peace for Mali, Mulele Matondo Afrika brought together an international group of London-based artists to record 'Mali La Paix'. Over the last seven days of January 2013, more than 20 musicians and singers generously gave their time and talent, contributing their own instrumentals and vocals in nearly ten different languages, to promote peace.
"The conflict in Mali is an issue for Africa, and for the rest of the world. I wanted to add to what Fatoumata Diawara did with 'Voices United for Mali' to help to raise awareness everywhere in order to promote peace in Africa. As an African, I see the war in Mali as another wound for Africa and I wanted to show solidarity with my African brothers and sisters. This time, it is Mali, but my own home, Congo, has been suffering for decades and all over Africa, there is suffering.
"Africa is like the body of a person and every time there is war, Africa bleeds and she is always bleeding somewhere - someone is always wounding Africa. That is what the chorus lyrics are about."
