                        BATUKE! IS 
                        The primal call of the drum to numb our senses...
                        A ray of light in our imagination...
                        Dancing in the colors of the rainbow...
                        The smell of the sea in the waves of our bodies...
                        Acacia trees, colorful cloth and red earth...

                        BATUKE! IS
                        Our souls in motion sharing one musical note...
