“Wavin’ Flag” Music, the language of the world, is the main source of happiness amongst most people worldwide.

Regardless of the language you speak, your ethnicity, or how much suffering you’ve been through, we can all dance and rejoice to this song. The beauty of music brings us together as one, and we should all take K’naan’s message to
