i've got to be honest here - i have no idea what sara is actually about. but here's what i do know - the group responsible for the song, the good ones, are a trio of rwandan genocide survivors who, rather than focusing on the horrible past they've endured, have decided to celebrate life through uplifting acoustic songs. all of their music is sung in the local, kinyarwanda street dialect of their nation's capital, kigali, but it doesn't take a linguist to understand what they're trying to say. it's hard not to be moved by sara's beauty.

buy their album kigali y’ izahabu HERE, and a portion of the proceeds will go to stories for hope and the kigali memorial centre.
