Released in 2000, the title track “Kakoua” means “don’t cry.” “Music is a spirit that cradles and heals us, unifies and illuminates us, consoles us in deep sadness and harmonizes our lives. If we want peace on this earth, we might put aside one week, seven days for the celebration of the arts, so that our children may grow to respect and enjoy God’s greatest gift to humanity.” – Njacko Backo
