Living Like A Refugee

By Reuben M. Koroma, ONE Member

I know ONE members are working hard to help improve the lives of people in Africa. In thanks, we would like to share one of our songs with you.

My band mates and I are not your typical touring musicians. We met in a refugee camp in the Republic of Guinea, having escaped from the horror of the civil war in Sierra Leone. Using simple instruments we brought some joy to people in the camps who were facing very difficult situations. Now we are called Sierra Leone’s Refugee All Stars and we have been fortunate enough to have our music recorded for an album called Living Like A Refugee, which will soon be released in the United States.

Listen or download for free “Living Like a Refugee.”

I know from experience how important music is. I hope our song brings you joy.
