Mushroom

Mushroom is a song by Swedish-Eritrean singer Sa'ra Charismata. The song represented Eritrea in the Own Africavision Song Contest 6. The song was well-known by the Own Africavision fandom as the most poetic song ever in the contest as Charismata uses many references to Super Mario Brothers characters like Koopa Troopa to draw comparison to the current social order and political climate, begging the question, who is really in control?
