As Majek Fashek leaves us, his over three-decade long call for black people around the world to unite for progress, rings true now more than ever before: “Arise from your sleep Africa / Arise from your sleep America / There's work to be done Africa / There's work to be done America / If we unite, we will be free so long, for too long / So long, for too long / We've been sitting down for so oooo long / We've been fooling round for too oooo long / We've been sitting down for so oooo long,”
Majekodunmi Fasheke, popularly known as Majek Fashek was a Nigerian singer-songwriter and guitarist. Also known as The Rainmaker, he worked with various artists worldwide including Tracy Chapman, Jimmy Cliff, Michael Jackson, Snoop Dogg, Beyoncé and Danny Erskine.
