Just 2 or so years ago he played a free show outdoors at the hummingbird centre, maybe 100 people or so and the raw version he did of this song, so good, the best version for sure(boy's got heartt). So stoked, I've heard (from Jonan) that he's pretty big in at least East Africa, so makes sense, but he's also reppin' the T dot and canada which is awesome.(except that we don't have a team there to rep us) Someone get him a shirt indeed, I've always dreamed of A K'naan/TFC Corroboration(Since at that concert he was wearing the same LRG sweater I saw Jimmy B wearing once haha). The la la la la laaaa's in Somalia could make for a good chant aswell.. But i may be a bit delusional.

Well we had this arguement before (Gianluca? :P ) but Id rate Canadian pop music definately in top ten (id say probably closer to top three) in the world from a popularity POV (esp female singers, including Ms Furtado)... the football, maybe not quite so high.... :lol:
