Smell the spice alive tonight
Jollof rice cooked just right
Colorful and full of life
African feast pure delight


Injera soft serves the soul
Ethiopian hearts it holds
Tear and share the night unfolds
Stories told food brings gold


Taste the land of sun and sand
Flavors bold hand in hand
Culinary magic grand
African food take a stand


Bobotie baked a sweet embrace
South African love in every taste
Heritage on every plate
Gather round let’s celebrate


Fufu and egusi soup
Hands together in a loop
Homemade love within the scoop
African dreams in a group


From the north to southern end
Savory stories blend and mend
Hearts and cultures time suspend
African food our dearest friend
