In this episode of Parrotbeetie, Raafeke returns and shares an important call to action for listeners to become aware of growing tensions in West Africa, specifically between Nigeria and Niger. The podcast then resumes its usual trajectory with an introduction into the Kongo Nation and history behind the Kingdom of Kongo, before sharing how these groups of people have survived in the diaspora. This is followed by a recording of the Big Drum Dance song, "Koro Koro", which is then broken down and concluded by an narration of Raafeke's story, "Kongo Storm".
