Story behind the song
(A special recognition thanking Republic of Benin, West Africa President Kerekou for all of his accomplishments and especially for issuing the apology in 1999 for the part his kinsmen had in contributing to the Trans-Atlantic slave trade. Through his apology the Children of the African Diaspora has returned “back home” to Africa to accept the apology and offer their talents to their rediscovered homeland.)
Lyrics
Instrumental Chorus Merci Monsieur Le President Kerekou Merci! (Repeat)
