Kanema's Song
Söngur Kanemu
Eighteen-year-old Erna Kanema is growing up in Reykjavik with an Icelandic mother, a Zambian father and her teenage sister Audur Makaya. Between two cultures, Kanema sometimes feels like there is a hole in her identity. She would like more contact with her Zambian relatives and a stronger connection to her cultural roots. Kanema’s intense involvement in music becomes a driving force leading to a deeper understanding of her ancestors’ music and her own identity.
