Consciously or unconsciously, it was the voice of the past speaking to the present. It was the voice of the Ancestors from Freetown-Sierra Leone, to Cape Coast-Ghana, to Whydah-Benin to Lagos-Nigeria, to Bimbia-Camerron and to our lands in Diaspora. It was the voice of those Slaves taken away through the Door of no return, though dead, yet, whose spirit lives. 

They remembered their own through the mouth piece of their kit and kin. They remembered Anago Prince who reincarnated in the present, born in 1753, and forcefully captured in 1768 as a Slave to Havana Cuba.
