Music is a universal language that can impact every person. It only requires that one pays attention and unravel the mystery of various emotions caused by the music. I do not understand anything from this song by the duo. However, this is fabulous music that evokes my memories. The relationship between music and memory is compelling. Scents can bypass rational thought. This song triggers my long time memories of the sense of sight. As a young kid, when my father was angry with me, I could see his anger all over his face. This would make me apologize as a shivered.
This album and the song is essential because it speaks to the signal importance o the black space. This was therefore used as the formulation places of freedom in areas where there was oppression. The field songs allowed the slaves to live amidst the cruelties that were subjected to them by the whites. The song is sorrowful, as it tries to elaborate on the racism and the viciousness of the system. Going by the title, the music illustrates the dyadic relationship between pure, light, and human life.
I like the Las Hijas “Sibeba.” This is simply because o how the band was able to incorporate various elements in their songs. This includes elements from funk and rock and many other African genres that are incorporated. This was a reflection o the African identity, and the band reflected this in their various songs. Despite this, the songs were liked by people who did not understand them, such as the Spanish audience. Therefore, they ended up incorporating Spanish in their songs.

I think that the investigations that they carried were aimed at justifying their actions of hanging these slaves. They would have hanged them anyway, but it was important to have evidence that the slaves were inhumane. They also wanted to justify that the actions they (whites) were doing to the slaves were not as bad as the slaves’ crimes. The system was set in a way that the slaves would not get any justice. For instance, there is no one single instance where the plea of the slaves was considered in these three cases. This is despite there being a lot of evidence that justified some of their actions. For instance, when defending themselves against rape. They are also treated as inferiors in the court system. There is no anywhere that they would get their justice.
In this case study, it is clear that Annice was profoundly maternal. This conclusion can be drawn by looking at how she had the children in her heart ad did not want them to suffer like her and the other slaves. Slaves during this time were treated as properties, and the owners would d anything that they deemed fit with them. She thought that by killing them, they would not be subjected to the pain and suffering. In this case, we can say that she was “rescuing” them from barbaric actions that would have befallen them later in their lives. The whites criminalized the love that these mothers had for their children by stating that these children’s death added up to the loss of potentially valuable assets. In this case, Annice’s actions re-assert that the slaves say death is better compared to the daily sufferings that they were subjected to.
The resistance on the father embodied by Batuko differs from that of Celia, Annice, and Mary in that the latter was a clear show of the importance of maternal. The three were protective of their children or their love, which shows how mothers are caring. The acts that were committed by these three women may be viewed in two ways. Some may see them as brutal, and others may see them as acts that showed love and care. The women had been subjected to a lot, and they had not been left with any other option apart from doing the unthinkable.
