@Wiyaala The chronic loss of community leaders and REAL "celeb leaders" in communities is clear as day,
BUT Wiyaala is showing the way. Leading by example.

Last night the #blackstars reminded me of 2010. They played as one man: strong, compact, a team ready to take on the world. Zidane praised the organisation and belief, and he was right. ๐ฌ๐ญ Go Go Blackstars.. Goal Download for free: https://t.co/aBmOSWVFTk

@Wiyaala โ Go Go Black Stars... Goal! (2014)
Wiyaala gave us drums, energy and enough confidence to believe we could beat anybody. Unfortunately, football matches are not won by vibes alone.

A few tickets left for The Langstone Sessions: Wiyaala at St Nicholas Chapel - Langstone, Havant UKhttps://www.ticketsource.com/kenekt-events/the-langstone-sessions-wiyaala/e-yrpvke
Bey dia!
I just read the latest newsletter from @Wiyaala.
Together with The Yaga Yagas, they'll be touring Europe and performing Segerige, my favorite! There'll be storytelling as well.
Oh Lord, someone sponsor me to see them! I've played the Segerige album so much that I might end up speaking Sissali.
The closest I've gotten to a Wiyaala show is YouTube videos. I love the intimate setting and how warm and welcoming it looks.
