"Any Afrikan who says to themselves I AIN'T NO AFRIKAN is a STUPID Afrikan because any Afrikan knowing anything about Afrika would be so proud to be an Afrikan, that they would not allow ANYBODY to mistake them for anything else" - Kwame Ture
ShakaRa is the son of renowned communityactivist Brother Leader Mbandaka and is an experienced multi-faceted performer.
