A popular recording artist in his home country, Kanga, was forced to leave after producing the song ‘El Mutino’ that was critical of his country’s leaders following a military coup. 10 percent of the royalties from his single ‘Give It To Me’ go to the Whitechapel Centre to support its work with rough sleepers.
