about

Christmas is a wonderful time yet for Jopango, it is not always easy. Jopango is derived from pango. It means one who lives in the city. The song highlights the difficulties that city dwellers are facing when running projects in the village remotely. The prices always seem to go up just because you are a Japango.
Going home “dala” from the city to the village can sometimes be challenging as expectation runs high and it can be especially daunting ahead of the Christmas season.
