More World On Your Street from BBC Leicester

ListenListen(1'20) to Alim performing his favourite song.

A favourite song:

My favourite song is about my mother. I left my family behind in Afghanistan. I haven't seen them since. I have sisters and brothers. If somebody leaves their country they leave their mother as well. Everybody likes to stay with their family. Here, it's boring for me. The words of the song say: 'This is my country, it's very beautiful, very smart.. for me'.
