A tribute to Bi Kidude

I enjoyed reading ‘Drum Rider’ (http://www.pambazuka.org/en/category/books/36217). What powerful poetry! It was penned with excruciating clarity; it’s raw, painful, beautiful, but most importantly it is the truth. I honour Bi Kidude for living her extraordinary life to the fullest and sharing her divine gift of music with the world. Also, I want to thank Shailja Patel, who penned ‘Drum Rider’ for her keen observations and the power and artistry of her words. Thank you Pambazuka for sharing with us the works of these courageous artists.
