THERE'S A WOMAN IN SOMALIA - SHE LIVES A LIFE SHE DIDN'T CHOOSE

SADE and her band are unique. She sings quietly but she is not shy about being a woman. “But then Helen Folasade Adu is a woman who has never had anything to hide. Born in Ibadan, Nigeria and raised in Colchester, Essex, where she moved at 4 after her English mother separated from her Nigerian father, she's spent her life trying to do what feels right, honest and true. Because by comparison nothing else has seemed as important. When she was growing up, Sade would listen to soul artists like Curtis Mayfield, Donny Hathaway and Marvin Gaye. Singers uniquely attuned to the complex sensibilities of heartache and hope, who were skilled enough to create from those feelings, something lasting and transcendent.”

I hope you will listen and find her as moving and mesmerizing as I do…
