I titled the album Reflections because I am reflecting on my music career.

It's a really unfair world because life is, where I am; all day long we listen to American music. So I don't see why the radios in the U.S. cannot even put aside one hour a day just to play music that is not American.

I have to go and say farewell to all the countries that I have been to, if I can. I am 73 now, it is taxing on me.

And why is our music called world music? I think people are being polite. What they want to say is that it's third world music. Like they use to call us under developed countries, now it has changed to developing countries, it's much more polite.

I am just reflecting the times. I can't ignore them.

I am proud of my career.
