Githeremende by Kwame

In a charming and infectious combination of English and Luo (a Kenyan dialect) “Aparo” roughly translates to “thinking” or “pondering” in the face of immense doubt. Kato Change’s incredible dexterity as his fingers dance across the fretboard flirts with flavourful jazz-infused Bossa Nova, complementary of Lisa Oduor-Noah’s vocal depth. 

Aparo - Kato Change featuring Lisa Oduor-Noah

The song is meant to drift you away from disappointments you encounter in  your daily hassles, relationship and especially when you have that shitty/unlucky day. So take a deep breath, get up, hold your head up high and LET IT BE ROCK!!

This song is one of my favorite Ayrosh's songs, the lyrics speak to me,basically means you should stop finding the meaning and be the meaning

Settle Down- Ayrosh Collo

I really loved this song by Papa Wemba so I thought, why not :)

Rail on

This is a long time coming BUT
I'd been thinking about how often we like to escape life when things are going crazy or when we just can't deal with things. Or we just need a way out and Fast Car by Tracy Chapman came to mind.
However, for me, I've found that, you can only run so long before that weight leaves you exhausted and immobile. In the last year, I've learnt to run to the One who fills me with Hope.
“I want to run. To do what I always do, have always done, for the last five years of my life. Escape, flee into the shadows. But this time, I stand my ground. I'm tired of running.” 
― Marie Lu, Prodigy

Isaiah 40:29-31:)

Fast Car cover

You are my strength
And I can never wear you out
You lift me up in my times of sadness
You pull me back from fear and doubt
You are my light
But I keep on stuffing in you out
Put you in a box lock you up stick you deep in the ground
Yeah
And I can't help myself
Can't keep you from breaking out
You're the lamb, you're the beast, you're the reigning king
I know you'll take me home

Coz even in the rain, even in the dark
Even as I trek across the valley, the mountain will be mine
Coz even in the rain, even through the pain
Even as they bind me with these chains
I know where I belong

Now that we're on it
Let's bring the dead to life
Find breath within the ashes we can never get enough
Don't get me started

With I can do all things
I'm not broken at the core
I'm just a little bent

There's things you've seen
Things I'd never tell
To think that you'd forgiven me would pull me straight from hell
But through your grace
My sun can shine again
We can face the demons down yes I will face the demons down

Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh-oh,oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

Remember Me Feat. Rish

"We can end stigma, but it begins with openness, the courage to speak out. Everyone should teach tolerance, respect, and understanding. Governments, religious leaders, and media should use their influence to advocate social change. I believe that stigma and discrimination will continue to exist so long as society as a whole has a poor understanding and acceptance of marginalized people, the pain and the suffering caused by negative attitudes and discriminatory practices. Stigma and discrimination exist worldwide and as an artist, I want to spread the message across using ‘Stop the Stigma’ song, from the community level to the rest of the world.” Stigma is not the cure, togetherness is the answer!’’ Kwame Mzik
