Hunted And Hated, People With Albinism Speak Out — And Sing Out
They're attacked for their body parts and stigmatized by society. They want to let the world know how it feels — by speaking out and singing out as well.
It is hard to imagine Africans would record and release an album of music with the name White African Power.
But that is the title of an album released this month by the Tanzanian Albinism Collective, a group of amateur musicians from Africa who have albinism — a rare genetic condition that results in a lack of pigment in skin, hair or eyes. According to the National Organization for Albinism and Hypopigmentation (NOAH), albinism occurs in about one in 18,000 to 20,000 people in the U.S. In other parts of the world, it could be as high as one in 3,000, NOAH says.
The title, the producer who brought the musicians together.
