Mama aaaa

“I saw her in my dream last night. She told me that you have an African water spirit dancing in your head and that Africa is where your soul belongs. That’s the message she gave me.”

“Grann Lamercie, what does the song mean?”

“I knew you were going to ask,” she said, and took a deep breath. “If I remember correctly, the song is about a girl telling her mother that she fell in the water and the evil Simbi spirit has kept her prisoner.”

“What was your grandmother’s name?”

“Nlunda a Kinkulu. But everyone here called her Lunda. She told me most names in Africa have a meaning. Hers means keeper of traditions.”
