I'm James Mtume, Grammy Award-winning, American Music Award-winning songwriter, producer, arranger, and a composer for film and television. I'd like to give a nice shout-out to those listening right now to have a very happy Kwanzaa. The reason why Kwanzaa is important is that it's a non-religious holiday. You can be of any religious persuasion and still celebrate Kwanzaa. So, happy Kwanzaa.
