Guinea Africa, where i was born and taken away from as a small child.


This where I was born and spent very little time. I was taken to Brazil. Even though I'm not happy that I had to leave my home, leaving got me the oppritunity to play by music and to become who I am now!Contact Us. Web. 25 March 2011. http://www.alpharhythmroots.com/Contactus.html.

Slaves, what i used to be.

At one point of time in my life I was a slave. I had to do through the difficulties that alot of others had to go through. I was just lucky enough to escape some of the tragedy and pain.

  1. Going along with your musical talent, I recognize your efforts and the struggle you have had to overcome. I might mention I myself enjoy playing the piano and am musically inclined, though this not my life profession. Piano is more of a hobby and pasttime of mine.
