Because so much is at stake in the act of asking, asking, or asking for, almost anything, whether information, help, love or respect, can be asking for trouble, so a great deal of care must be taken with the ways …
More than 965 million women and men in Africa cannot afford a healthy diet (FAO et al. 2020).

As music crosses cultural, linguistic, and political bo…
