Radio Netherlands: My Song

January 15, 2014

Radio Netherlands' My Song showcases the personal stories behind the songs of Africa’s most compelling musicians. Songs featured include one by Rwandan singer Jean Paul Samputu, who fled Rwanda during the genocide in 1994 and his song "Twararutashye" translates as "We returned to our home". Another moving song is by Zimbabwean singer Rutendo Machiridza who turned to music to deal with the sexual abuse she suffered and uses music as a way to reach out to other victims of abuse. Listen to these moving tunes and others at My Song.
