Alhaji Dan Maraya is one of the best known and most highly regarded of Nigerian musicians.He's a Hausa from the North of the country, and he's won his reputation with nothing more than an utterly simple stringed instrument and the force of his own wit and personality.
In this programme we have two political poets. They could be described as political poets but they could scarcely be more different. Poemd by one of them are to be found in just about every anthology of Pan-African poetry. He's the South African writer and political activist, Dennis Brutus.
