think if you actually boost i think it's a show and i really think industry i mean if you stab ok so the album has made some criticism of the especially due to the lack of eastern african voices on the recordings set out session from nairobi rhodes i'm a huge beyond safe and but i'm still gutted there was no intrusive ity in the lion king album even with the little swahili in the film it would have meant to large to have east african sound this was purely a west african affair once again we've been brought sat and this use of roach it's worse that disney line king uses swahili but what's even worse is that he didn't feature any artist that speaks the language africa is more than just niger. it has 57 countries. and that is it one album day devaney's africa as always you can catch all our stories on our website and facebook page today will leave you with some sound from beyond say his latest album this one's called spirit till next time i
