One of Emmerson’s anti-corruption-themed protest songs, “Borbor Bele” (which means “Potbellied Boy”), spoke to the frustration and disillusionment Sierra Leoneans felt towards their leaders/ruling class. The album largely addressed the kleptocratic institutions and the culture and ideology that drives them. “Borbor Bele” spoke about many of the reasons on why the incumbent Sierra Leone People’s Party should lose to the All People’s Congress in the Sierra Leonean general election, 2007.
