Ivorian singer, Gadji Celi, explains why he recorded the song 'Liberéz our president' (Free our president), in which he calls for the release of Laurent Gbagbo, the former president of Ivory Coast, who is currently detained at the Intenational Criminal Court in The Hague, The Netherlands. The ex-captain of the Ivorian national football squad, who lives in exile in France, also talks about how badly he wants to return to his country. 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.
