Give my heart to Africa
I wrote the main melody for this song
on the piano when I was 16. Many years
later I was involved in a fund raising
campaign raising funds for relief work
in Africa. I wanted to express my feeling
that though these people, these children,
live far away in a foreign land, we
are bound by our common humanity. The
song was used in our campaign for AMURT
(Ananda Marga Universal Relief Team)
and I recorded it in 1985. In 1988 I
re-recorded it for the ‘Warriors
of the Rainbow’ album. Of all
the tunes I’ve written this remains
my favourite. I’ve written an
extended instrumental version which
I may record some day.
