One of my Dad's favorite sayings is that "light defeats any and all form of darkness."

Now bringing the light in Africa to defeat the staggering weight of unstable power supply in Africa is Senegalese-American R&B and hiphop singer, songwriter and record producer,

Aliaune Damala Bouga Time Bongo Puru Nacka Lu Lu Lu Badara Akon Thiam

professionally known as Akon. (Lol, I didn't know he has so many names.)
