Bockarie is back in his home country after a four-year stay in Nigeria with a new release amid heightened political friction over accusations of corruption, tribalism and partisanship between Sierra Leone’s two main political parties.
The album “9 Lives”, released in August, tackled the same societal ills that have made him a target of both ruling and opposition party supporters.
Singing in the local krio pidgin, in a track called “Kokonat” (Coconut Head) Bockarie sings: “Regardless of who’s in power there’ll be no change because they know we’ve made a strong decision to be blindly partisan.”
