Oha Mwana Na Tauro

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.

Cucu Wa Gakunga

Should a sudden misfortune befall a family, they turn first to their ancestral spirits for advice, guidance and protection. In many cases a family has a special spirit, or Mudzimu which, when properly appeased, speaks directly to the family through a living spirit medium.
