Tsehaytu Berakhi's song.  Asennai's remix. Working on a verse for it.

Iley Habelmalit (maA Selama) Asennai's Remix

The poem "Higa Tigre" is by my father and was recorded back in 2006. The inspiration to work on the music came in 2008, when I went back to listen to it. The poem is a heartfelt praise to my father's native tongue: "Higa Tigre" can be best translated as "The Language of Tigre". Straightforward title but the content is anything but. I always get taken by some lines at the end of the poem, "I, the son of Mensa'E, bid you farewell/from where the sun sets". 

Pops' words, my music...I suppose that makes it an official collaboration with pops :)

There are a few tweaks I wish I could have done on this track but the original music files are nowhere to be found. Until it is recreated some day...

I was working on some drum patterns when The Weeknd's "The Morning" came to mind. Decided to throw in it there and improvise. Didn't bother to edit it and just went with the flow.

Added some drums to "Simsim" one of my favorite tracks by Tsehaytu Berakhi.

"Simsim" Tsehaytu Berakhi (Asennai's Remix)

This is a sketch track. The goal was to get the hook on the track and wait for the rest of the verses to come to me..in due time. 

I wrote it for my daughter, Shanet, when she was 1. She is five now. I vowed to only add a verse when it felt right. 

The chorus goes:
You teach my heart / how to love
like He Hu Hi Ha Hei H Ho
My deepest well
My native spell
the realest verse / in my flow

You teach my heart how to love
Like He Hu Hi Ha Hei H Ho
You are the dream / I waited for
The cause I would die standing for
