“Santrofi Anoma may be translated as ‘the dilemma bird of Akan mythology.’ Endowed with mysterious treasures of the mind and voice, Santrofi is both a blessing and a curse.  Santrofi is a blessing for the clarity of its vision and for the transforming beauty and power of its gift of song.  But Santrofi is also a curse for its irritating and irrepressible urge to expose the unsavory side of society…Society is blind without Santrofi’s visionary guidance, but it stands forever condemned by Santrofi’s persistent accusations of improper conduct.” Kofi Anyidoho
