Dondomo, the third single to be taken from the album, means ‘enemy’ in Isaac’s native language of Birifor - a state some feel easier to fall into than others, as Sonny explains:
“To have enemies we must be an enemy ourselves. When we think we are right and our ‘enemies’ are just simply wrong we make ourselves the enemy from their perspective. And where does that get us? But when we try to understand where the opposition argument is coming from, to find middle ground, collaborate or just to rub along without animosity, we usually find everything works a bit better. Some things can’t be achieved alone, so it’s probably best not to make enemies!”
