Harambee is a Kenyan tradition of community self-help events, e.g. fundraising or development activities. Harambee literally means "all pull together" in Swahili, and is also the official motto of Kenya and appears on its coat of arms.
Harambee events may range from informal affairs lasting a few hours, in which invitations are spread by word of mouth, to formal, multi-day events advertised in newspapers. These events have long been important in parts of East Africa, as ways to build and maintain communities.
Following Kenya's independence in 1963, the first Prime Minister, and later first President of Kenya, Jomo Kenyatta adopted "Harambee" as a concept of pulling the country together to build a new nation. He encouraged communities to work together to raise funds for all sorts of local projects, pledging that the government would provide their startup costs. Under this system, wealthy individuals wishing to get into politics could donate large amounts of money to local harambee drives, thereby gaining legitimacy; however, such practices were never institutionalised during Kenyatta's presidency.

HARAMBEE CENTER 2
I feel so disappointed within human life
Driven by this sick ideal of buying paradise
Yeah everything is sold
But not for what it is
Money establishes the rules
Subverting human needs
Trading our lifes
Depting our minds
Dreaming to buy
How?!
How?!
How?!
How?!
Like you
Just like a living curse
Our life is quite insane
A sketch of what we think to be
Written on the wall of fame
A status image lie
That's what we're dying for
A pretty house
A fancy car
A plastic woman
ltes Green and Gold
A Rasta at the control
They try to keep us down
Scatter us all around
To diverse parts of the earth
Hoping we'd waste away
But no matter what they do
But no matter what they say
All a Jah Jah children a go Harambe
Harambe Harambe Rastaman say harambe
Harambe Harambe The Higher One say Haramb
What colour is the rainbow
Check it the next time it shows
That's the way we should be
All together in harmony
We sailing in the same boat
We rocking up the same stream
So no matter what they do
So no matter what they say
All a Jah Jah children a go Harambe
Harambe Harambe Rastaman say Harambe
Harambe Harambe The Higher One say Haramb
Can a leopard change its spots
Or Jah Jah children their skin
Bob say blood is thicker than water
Love will take us further
So don't feel no way
Cause a so Jah Jah say
And no matter what they do
And no matter what they say
All a Jah Jah children a go harambe
Harambe Harambe Rastaman say Harambe
Harambe Harambe The Higher One say Haramb
The Natural way Harambe
The African way Harambe
Don't feel no way Harambe
A so Jah Jah say Harambe
