Sing Like A River emerged from a performance poetry workshop that Graham Mort ran at the Beyond Borders festival in Kampala in October 2005. Over a period of three one-hour sessions, a group of African writers took part in a process designed to produce a collaborative work, which began life in a number of languages - Arabic, Sepedi, English, French, Afrikaans, Luganda, Kiswahili - before being translated into English.
