The song “Samba Si Kairi” is the album’s centerpiece. “This song talks about my childhood, my parents,” Touré says. “My grandfather would sing ‘Samba Si Kairi’ to me as a child, and I would dance. Samba who never breaks, who never runs from threats, who is not afraid. This song is an homage to my grandparents.”
