A draft version of the song that has grown into a deserved hit for the Undercover Hippy Experience at the UK's summer festivals in 2009. Soon to acquire freestyle verses, initially comparing the struggles of Africans attempting the "Back Way" to Europe with the gripes of tourists heading the other way on their holidays, but extending to become a powerful and multi-faceted metaphor: It's a long way down from the top to the bottom (but a longer way up from the bottom to the top!)
Billy Salisbury on guitar, vocal, loop station, with Philan from Brikama on added vocal. Recorded live on the bantaba at the Flying V, the Gambia, March 2009.
