Special

we are all racist. and sexist. and africanist (is this a word?) speaking as a black, kenyan, woman trust me i know. 

this is exploration one of what i'm hoping will be a series of conversations with myself and/or others on sticky topics. racism, sexuality, gender, africa is not a country, day jobs, poor artists, just to name a few off the top of my head. this isn't edited or really planned. and i don't plan to do any kind of planning either. think of it like a verbal journal. that may or may not involve a bunch of other people.

the awesome cover image was taken by Hilla Virta and edited slightly by me.

An ambient song meant to evoke emotion similar to the way a movie soundtrack does. A melancholic song with uplifting elements that lead to hope for the future in spite of current challenges. 

Production: MG
Background vocals: Tetu Shani and Waithera Chege
Guitar solo: Tugi Mlamba
Bass Guitar: Thomas Olang'o

Tetu Shani- Round and Round (Prod. By MG)

Initially I wanted to make a cover that mashes up work by Sade and Somi. 'Ginger Me' and 'Sweetest Taboo' were a wild guess that turned out to have a lot of chemistry and I got to add some twists to the rhythms and melodies whilst mashing them up. 
'Juju' by Nameless came to mind as I was playing with the Sade x Somi mash up on my guitar. Considering the three songs, 'Taboo' was an apt theme; seductive and mysterious. The last piece of the puzzle coincidentally happened as I was walking in Nairobi and thinking about the set, when 'Taboo' by Phy started playing on my shuffle playlist, et voila! The sequel to 'Theme: Nairobi' was complete.

Theme: Taboo (African Acoustic #13)
