Music Is a Weapon\r - On the power of their music reaching an American audience: "It says that music is it's own language. It's universal--you don't need to speak a language to listen to music, to feel music, to feel related and that's the beauty of music. That's why it's the weapon as Fela [Kuti] would say," says Célia.\r \r(Photo: Darnell Williams/BET)
