In an effort to bridge the gap between visual and sonic art, we will collaborate with visual artists for every release, this one is a photo from Sammy Ganham aka Battered Lens:

Battered Lens is a French photographer and videographer based in Nairobi. Investment Banker by profession, he founded Backdrop in 2016 which became a fast growing East African content production company.

This picture was captured in Ol Pejeta, following a short storm. The lonely elephant was an old male and the composition tried to embody the mood across the Laikipia plateau at this moment. The bright section of the sky in the background, alongside the distinct sunrays, draws emphasis on the iconic wild silhouette ahead. A symbol of hope and a sign that the storm shall pass too

To deliver our 5th release, Foozak collaborates with upcoming South African producer D.O.A & the talented vocalist Lizwi, also from South Africa, to bring the Izigi EP to life. 

The lead track Izigi translates to "thump" in isiZulu. The track conveys the message of striving towards freedom and a better life. Her vocals are accompanied by rolling drums and percussion, the melody breathes life into this cut, yielding an immersive emotion-driven track.

The second track of the EP titled Nairobi pursues effective melodies balanced with arpeggiated cosmic playfulness. The drums and vocals illuminate the dark side of Kenya's capital Nairobi.
