The book published by St. Martin’s Press and distributed by Barnes & Noble will be launched during Black History Month. Jal whose own childhood was robbed from him, aims to protect the childhood of others through music. “Music is powerful. It is the only thing that can speak into your mind, your heart and your soul without your permission.” According to Jal, in times of war, starvation, hunger and injustice, the only way to survive the daily tragedy in Sudan is to allow the inner-soul to be uplifted through music, which is like soul food to heal pain. Through his heartfelt lyrics, he opens the world up to the corruption and greed of the Sudanese government; central to the themes of his songs is the campaign for peace of opposing sides in Sudan and the clear message that children have no place in wars. The youth of the world might feel like War Children; however, awareness of the problem starts dialogue towards a solution.
