The Power of Song

The Power of Song

Africa on the Move follows Ivorian reggae singer Tiken Jah Fakoly as he fights for Africa's poor and marginalised.

Tiken Jah Fakoly is a star - a celebrated reggae singer from the Ivory Coast who sings about the poverty and corruption that has plagued his continent.

We travel with him from the stage to the two village schools he funds - all part of his pledge to fight for the poor and the marginalised.

About Africa on the Move: Africa is often associated with war and destruction, poverty and disease, but this series tells inspiring stories of courage, creativity and achievement. These are positive stories of Africans who have changed their lives and impacted those around them through entrepreneurship and education.
