\"\"Recording artist AbiYah Yisrael\u00a0\u00a0has been stirring up the air waves with her latest single “Africa Time”. The track is part of the recently released Reconciliation Riddim Album.<\/span><\/p>\n

After 400 years of slavery\u00a0AbiYah\u00a0is calling on all black people to wake up and refocus on Africa. Sharing deeply from the heart\u00a0AbiYah\u00a0says\u00a0“When we speak of indigenous human rights, we the descendants of slavery need to be brought into the discussion. We have been systematically forfeited of our inheritance, land and culture. We have now assimilated into western neo-colonial societies where we cling\u00a0to and mend broken pieces of African and European cultures, creating a compromised mosaic of our own. If culture is the way of life of a people, then a fragmented culture means a fragmented\u00a0way of life. Political stability is not culture.\u00a0We in the west, especially in the Caribbean are\u00a0slowly becoming\u00a0complacent. We are abandoning what’s left of our fragmented culture, forgetting the pieces of Africa we are made of and are leaning more towards the systems put in place to rule us with the master being absent. Culture is a livity linked to a certain level of spirituality. As far back as the Spanish Inquisition\u00a0and beyond our culture was torn from us with ships, whips and religion. It is time we as black people realize who we are, it is time we rediscover our ancestry and culture, it is time to return to Torah and our spirituality. It is Africa Time.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
