Eritrea - Tigre' Music by Bekita Ali

I miss the sounds I grew up with. I miss African music. I miss African food, yassa, thiéboudienne, gumbo, bobolo. I miss African programmings with their cheap graphics. I miss riding Taxi-Vespas through busy markets. I even miss the call of the muezzin every morning! I miss my family always trying to hammer morals in me since well...at least they have them and they tried to teach me something, all the time. I miss Senegal, Togo, Cameroun.

I miss my dad. I haven't seen him in two years and now, he's enjoying a warm retirement in Togo. Today's his 65th birthday.

Happy birthday, Dad.
