• LYRICS

tinatanaw
ang ilaw mo
kumikislap
sa gitna ng bagyo

ang landas 
mong hinawan
nag-iiwan
bakas ng katanungan

paralisado
sa harap nitong dilim
ano ang gagawin
sa iniwan mong ningning

paralisado
sa’yong mga tula
naiwang tulala
anong magagawa

mga kamay 
di maigalaw
mga salitang 
hindi makawala

Paralisado

Mooihoek For Me Will Never Be The Same

Pre Order - https://baloji.bandcamp.com/album/kaniama-the-yellow-version

Congolese-born, Belgium-based artist Baloji has released a new afro-electro single, “Spotlight & Miroir” (ft. Marshall Dixon & Poison Mobutu) from his upcoming album Kaniama: The Yellow Version, out May 3 via Bella Union.

The original “Spotlight” comes from Baloji’s previous album 137 Avenue Kaniama, which was released last year on Bella Union. The label is re-releasing the album as the artist originally intended it, as a one-track mixtape on May 3. In a world of fleeting singles, Kaniama: The Yellow Version brings back the full album listening experience.

Baloji is an artist in motion, a musician, poet, film director and man of many images and ideas. Baloji means “man of science” in Swahili, but shifted during the colonial period to “man of the occult sciences and sorcery.” With influences from Outkast and LCD Soundsystem to African rumba king Tabu Ley Rochereau and salsa music legends Fania Records, he mixes hip hop culture with Congolese guitars and a melodic approach with some French chanson structure. His perpetual motion is showcased in music videos like “Soleil De Volt,” where he fronts a satirical variety show band with flamboyant flare, also apparent in his sharp curation of Komono eyewear collections

Written by a husband waiting for his quarantined wife and her coronavirus test results, “Relaks” is also a love song for all of us hidden in isolation, waiting for things to get better.

LYRICS

Kabado ka na naman
Hindi makahinga kinakabahan
Dahan-dahan huminahon
Kalaban man ay panahon

Ang dami nang dahilan
Para mundo ay katakutan
Kusang nananadya lang ba
itong madayang kapalaran

Relaks ka lang
Bukas tayo’y uuwi na
Walang dapat ikabahala
May hangganan lahat ng pangamba

Relaks ka lang
Sa ngayon walang magagawa
Ngunit  anomang dilim
Lalampasan nating magkasama

Hindi mapakali
Buntong hininga kaliwa’t kanan
Parang walang katapusan 
May pag-asa bang aasahan

Sa kabila ng di tiyak na landas
Kapiling mo ako sa paglalayag
Harangin man ng alinlangan
Sabay haharap sabay aalpas
