I'm Travelling More Than Ever. I Don't

I Had To Run Away From Home In Order To Be A Musician. Because I Came From A Family Of... My Father Was A Health Inspector; My Mother Was A Social Worker. And I Was Pretty Smart In School. So They Expected Me To Be Some Kind Of Academic - Schoolteacher, Or Doctor, Lawyer - And They Were Very Disappointed When I Told Them I Wanted To Be A Musician.

I've Got To Where I Am In Life Not Because Of Something I Brought To The World But Through Something I Found - The Wealth Of African Culture.

Africa Has Been Troubled For A Long Time - Well, The World Has Been Troubled Ever Since I Was Born.

When I Left South Africa In 1960 I Was 20 Years Old. I Wanted To Try To Get An Education, And Music Education Was Not Available For Me In South Africa.

I Grew Up With Protests, Marches, Demonstrations, Struggle. But I Come From A Clan Of Community Workers.
