...religious concerns in lyrics that are by turns inscrutable and revealing. On one song, The Way, NdegeOcello sings, "They say you're the way the light/The light is so blinding/Your followers condemn me your words used to enslave me."

They will hear us better, I think, if we--while learning ourselves from their own unique perspectives--offer to share our knowledge of the English language, or resume-writing, or basic computer skills, with them...
