Music written, sung and recorded in Nigeria by Daniel Agu
with Hugh Quarshie as Okonkwo

Okonkwo, a man of physical and moral courage, cannot bear to witness the destruction of all he believes in. As things fall apart around him, as the society he belongs to begins to change, Okonkwo makes his stand. Nigeria before colonisation is vividly and movingly evoked by this classic of modern novels.
