“His influence has been widespread, working with Bono and Stevie Wonder while his songs are consistently featured in popular American television shows. Rocky is one of the rare African artists to break through to a broad audience.” – The Huffington Post.
Folks here at #TheAfricanDream have had the privilege of encountering Rocky Dawuni in diverse ways and all such encounters have been nothing but amazingly exceptional. We see a lot of positive energy in his music and work as a humanitarian and encourage you to support this album by not only spreading the word about it, but also purchasing it.
