From the Shadows of Crisis: The Mighty Popo and "Impunga"

Today's random tune is by the Mighty Popo out of Canada. A Rwandan/Burundian refugee, Mighty Popo's music is steeped in his African traditions which he learned growing up in a Rwandan refugee camp in Burundi during the Great Lakes refugee crisis. He combines that music with a spirit of rock, jazz, blues, R&B, reggae and folk with a spirit of joy born out of close connections to friends and family that belies his upbringing. You can find this song, Impunga, on his 2011 album Gakondo.
