DESCRIPTION:
Erik Aliana, album "Just My Land" (Buda Records /Universal)

Nkana both means "tale" and the action of telling it. Erik is worried that wise elders will stop passing on the values of their people, tired as they are that people no longer listen. If one is duty-bound to pass on the oral heritage he has received, what can be done when there isn't anyone still interested in receiving it?
"City child / Show respect for tales / And, in your turn, tell them / You do have History"
