Lighting in a bottle is an instantaneous gratification, this particular beat was made and arranged and completed in exactly 10 minutes. The only thing missing was the right vocalist to carry it through. 
By this point in time there were quite a few vocalists that we had worked with before. Joseph Kiwango being one of them and the top contender for this particular song but, Hiribae felt that it needed a female vocal a really delicate one to match the melody and so he suggested Wams, who at the time I didn't know was a vocalist, even more so, a formally trained one under Sauti Academy. She was really shy as we set up the studio in our friend's living room, she did not feel her voice was good enough. 
That all changed once she opened her mouth and delivered this heart tugging song while Kiwango provided a counterpoint to fully balance the story. 
'Come In and Enjoy' :)

Sometimes the emotions that arise during rehearsals are better than on stage. When there pressure's off and the music is all that speaks. Get a glimpse of our rehearsals via an iPhone voice recording. One of my faves.

If you grew up in Nairobi like me you were probably born only one or two generations after poverty. Likewise, if you grew up in Nairobi like me you've probably seen the best and worst of both worlds on a daily basis. 
From the Joneses to the Kamaus, the big bonuses to the regular wadaus. 
A city poised precariously between obnoxious opulence and heartbreaking hardships. 
Most people in Nairobi are one life-changing emergency away from slipping back to indigence, 
And thats why I cant let anything or anyone stop me from getting whats rightfully mine. Hakuna Njaa kama Njaa Ya Nairobi
