It took me a day to really get over the effect of K’naan; the energy and peace that spilled all over me from a mere 20 minute conversation with this man – he is a special human and his essence reeks of a positive peace that I have not experienced too often in my short life.
ThisCityRocks features K’naan in Episode 11 from the Telus Ski and Snowboard Festival in Whistler. Sol Guy from Direct Current Media was kind enough to grant us some time for an interview. And Warwick and I melted from K’naan’s inspiring live show in the village. I took a few snaps of the show as well.
Thank-you to Art Maughan from BoxTop Studios for stepping in to edit this episode. A lot of fun stuff produced in this one. And to Class5 Snowboards for sponsoring the episode.
From that interview, it sounds like K’naan (who I heard of vaguely from the CBC Radio 3 podcast, I think) is trying to re-frame what people think of Somalia. Nice work in sharing his perspective with us!
Oh, and nice little ‘outtake’ at the end there. I didn’t know that about Ron MacLean!
