Dedicated to a great man of our time US president Barak Obama. Amabo is Obama in retrograde and when I googled it, I discovered it's also a greek word that means "I shall Love". I choose an Afro beat style for this track to emphasise the despicable and racist birther campaign that was led against him. In essence I'm asking the question "what's WRONG with being African", that so many are afraid of.
