A life lesson from the Afro-Caribbean band The Bongo Hop

The World

With all the stress and strife in the world, we all have different ways of coping. For the Afro-Caribbean band The Bongo Hop, they turn to songwriting. Their tune “La Pata Coja” tells us that no matter the scale of our loss, we have to keep moving forward. We can still love, walk and even dance.
