L.U.A.L x Nancy Chan x Slo - Letter To Dr. John Garang

Lual D'Awol, if you haven't heard the name, he's one of the few South Sudanese youth to express himself through music, to be more specific "Rap Music". The 1st song I heard by him titled: "Letter To Dr. John Garang" featuring Slo & Qwashi also from South Sudan really moved me. The chorus didn't just speak to Dr. John Garang but it spoke to everyone else as well.





Dr. John Garang was our fighter for freedom and is our strong link to keep fighting for what we believe in. Dr. John Garang didn't just inspire us but he spoke all of our minds when we had no voice. He brought the peace treaty to the table, although left us too soon & at a time when South Sudan needed him the most, his death brought strength to our hearts and minds, why? We had to give him that respect of making his dream come true. For South Sudan to become a nation & Baba Garang, I will gladly look up to the skies, smile & tell you: A New Nation Is Born.

For heroes, you can't really find much words to say, because their actions have spoken louder than any voice could. With that being said, Look down on South Sudan from Heaven Baba Garang, we know you and Jesus are walking by us.
