Surprising Europe

Many African migrants are struggling to make a living in Europe in a bid to fulfill the expectations of their families.

Some African migrants pay a high price to realise their European dream.

‘I came to Europe and thought it was heaven on earth.’

‘We can’t deny the fact that racism and discrimination exist.’

‘When you are not a structured person, Europe makes you very miserable.’

‘When I was in Africa, I believed everybody in Europe speaks English.’

‘My music is from someone who wonders, tries to understand and thinks about his life, his background, his identity.’

‘Be informed before you come [as] all that glitters is not gold.’

‘Hip hop chose me to speak for all the people who cannot say what happened to them, why they are suffering.’

‘Job is everything in Europe, job is the house, job is the food, so if you don’t have a job, you are a dead person.’
