By Ornella Baganizi
“Umubano mu Bantu: Love among People” is an audio collection of short stories from oral history life interviews I conducted with my parents. From Rwanda to the United States, these are a few stories of the country they love and left, and the people they love and lost.
In this audio piece, meet Ornella's dad. Transcript available here.
I asked my father what his favorite song was? He answered, Umubano mu Bantu.
This is the song that inspired my work.
