Samuel Enoh-Tanya of Cameroon made a post in the 
Guest Book of AfriClassical Blog's companion website, 
AfriClassical.com, on Saturday, February 28, 2015:

You cannot know how elated I am to find your website.
I am listening to Joseph Bologne's violin concertos for
the first time and I feel such pride to know that works
of such high nobility have flowed from black people
also. There is a renewal happening within humanity, a
striving for the resurgence of nobility, love and
goodness. Africans must take the lead in this, but they
cannot do so if they do not know how much they
themselves had contributed in the past. Keep on
providing this information to the world and inspiring
Africans all over.


We welcome Samuel Enoh-Tanya to AfriClassical.com
and AfriClassical.blogspot.com and encourage him to help
spread the word about Le Chevalier de Saint-Georges and
the many other classical composers and musicians of
African descent.
