    I came from a remote village in North Eastern part of Uganda, Asa's first song that I heard was jailer by that time technology was out of us and only radio stations owned the song so i promised my to look until I get. Cos it had a part in me, I love Asa. I hope one time you come to Uganda it will be the first I will go for a concert.

The first time I heard the song was from sleep. I mean I woke up from the song, it so deep to soul. Eye a daba tin fo lo ki. God continue to bless her voice. I know imma’ see her someday. Peace.

    I bought her first song "ASA with songs like jailer, fire on the mountain and others. And I heard a lady who sang in poetry.
    She didn't show no ass or naked girls displaying their intestines but she sang with a voice and diction so clear with a bit of Yoruba accent.
    I play her music all the time. The songs will be like fine wine that becomes priceless with times.
    And hey lady find Jesus in your calm moments he will help you get over the noise of the crowded hours

      Hence my advice to ASA and everyone no matter the status should find that balance in life. Else one might go crazy. Or being Rich yet sad, not contented and depressed.
