Founding member of the Selecter and current member in the Skalatones, Charley Anderson,travelled to Sudan in 1995. There he was involved in the "Operation Lifeline Sudan" project.
Charley was very taken with the experience in Southern Sudan. Haunted by images of a ruthless war bent on exterminating an entire people, Charley went to work in the only way he knows how, through his music. Sleepless nights and endless days spent in his small recording studio at the Reef Hotel with a handful of Kenyan musician friends, Charley composed and recorded eleven songs whose lyrics serve as a living document of what is happening in southern Sudan to the Dinka, Nuba, Nuer, Murle peoples, as well as the members of some 50 other ethnic groups who have been living in the region for generations and whose very existence is today threatened because of a civil war that has been raging for over forty years.
The result was "Journey To Akot"...
