Be Blessed(direct translation) - Sikelela

A blessing to all. This small snippet of the song was created for a score which multi-talented vocalist and cinematographer Lilly Million was involved in. The first score work The Brother Moves On would work on.

Sikelela featuring Lilly Million

Inspired by the power of the world within the mind.

An Empire Within

ßassa the wonder child, known formally as Muhammad Bassa. From the young age he already had a huge inclination towards music, dragging his dads guitar around the house. His father, and instrumentalist and popular musician in his community would let Bassa perform at his shows, and sit in his studio sessions. At a young age he was already performing for large crowds, not receiving any formal training or coaching and evidently with a natural flair on a music quest. His timing and rhythms were one of a kind. He went onto learning how to play the Saxophone and various wind instruments, mouth bows and other Ethnic instruments. When the Family moved to Gouda, Bassa's music went into a more electronic expression. A random night at a restaurant in the middle of no where, Alex (Leeu) and Bassa met. Instant connections led to their kinship and Bassas introduction into the electronic. Following that Bassa delved for the next years, fusing his indian roots. The result something refreshingly delicate, purely from heart. Humble Wizardry.

(from everyone in Hadedah and your closests, we all wish you a speedy recovery! and look forward to your next musical chapter)

I made this for the mixathon48 competition, it was fun as to make and I really hope I win or at least come close. It took me 26 hours to complete. Sorry for the quiet master, I'm still learning how to master. I used all of the vocal clips in the drop (vocal chops)
