I want to take Impiliso around the world and heal as many people as I can because the world is a broken place and only music can sooth and fix it. With the people’s support I believe we can go far and I will be able to take my band to the UJ Arts Festival, this is my dream and thank you those who have always supported my craft.” – Odwa Bongo
