Epic song about the vulture. A repulsive animal in Western culture but revered in Africa. It consumes dead flesh but transmutes the energy to fly very high.
Traditionally performed for powerful individuals such as heads of state, warriors, leaders; people who have been through the fire and survived.
An adequate piece for President Obama.
