Amirah Ali’s soulful Katakanlah, the first track of a work-in-progress EP (Extended Play), has been released online. The haunting lyrics reflect her anguish over what is happening.
I believe that we cannot rely on politicians alone to change our country. Others too have a crucial role to play.
Socially conscious singers may touch vast numbers of people with haunting melodies, poets may inspire thinkers and dreamers, talented musicians can sweep us off to a different realm, gifted artists caressing their canvas can open up new vistas for us, while satirists and cartoonists can raise our morale through their humour… and of course, we the people can be agents of change, transforming the world around us.
