Does poverty in Africa persist because of policies by global financial institutions, such as the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF)? Instead of lifting people out of their hardship, these policies achieve the opposite, says some critics. One of them is Nigerian afrobeat musician Seun Kuti, son of the famous Fela. His song 'IMF' reflects his belief that the IMF is complicit in making the rich few even richer and leaving the poor masses even poorer. In this week's My Song, Kuti talks about how the track was fuelled by his anger towards the IMF. That is, the organization in Washington, D.C. Every week, My Song showcases the personal stories behind the songs of Africa's most compelling musicians. You'll hear these musicians in their own words. No presenter, no interviewer - nothing to get in the way. Just African voices on African music.
