[00:41.27]Some four hundred years ago
[00:50.35]They took away my forefathers
[00:59.09]From Africa to America
[01:24.73]My forefathers took along their music
[01:29.97]And some became jazz
[01:32.96]Some became soul
[01:35.15]Some became rhythm and blues
[01:38.23]Swing, big band, bop, hip hop, funk, jazz, rap, reggea, ragga,
[01:45.85]And some became calypso
[01:54.54]The body can be enslaved but never ever the spirit
[02:09.00]So whereever there's soul in the music
[02:16.86]Whereever the spirit moves the music
[02:21.57]Whether in Jamaica, whether for Cuba
[02:28.62]Even in Trinidad and Tobago
[02:36.28]Whether Brasilia, I say Brasilia
[02:42.55]America, Europa, Australia, Asia
[02:50.51]Whereever there's soul in the music
[03:09.33]Behind it you find the African
