Lyrics that Strike a Chord
With raw, honest lyrics, Wendy Shay and Ras Kuuku paint a picture of everyday hardship and the constant fight for survival. They sing:

The Lonely Road to Success

“I left home to feed home… I have been walking many days, many nights non-stop on foot, no food and no any water. This road is a lonely road.”
