AND....Azizi, Ayub's music was used for the soundtrack to 'The Constant Gardener' film recently. It is an excellent film which deals with the corruption within the huge Corporate Medical Companies and tells how they're using innocent people in Africa to test their new inventions on...In the film it was a vaccine for malaria.
It will really open up your eyes...and make you seethingly angry, which is of course what we all need to become, to stop these terrible things from happening in the first place!
I've got Ayub's CD and it's wonderful. My children LOVE it and my friends here it and go "WOW!! WHO is that?"
I had trouble tracking down his CD, but then someone gave me this link on the Radio 2 board and we ordered it from there. It's now one of our favourites. I wish he'd do more!!
