Here is a story written & narrated by Kenya's Akoth Jumadi on the forthcoming extended play, Seasons. Weche, produced by Under Bridges's Punk Mbedzi & Gondwana Ke's Euggy, loosely translates to issues or troubles in Dholuo.The song is a sort of lamentation of a young woman about her troublesome lover to her parents, friends and all those who care for her.She seeks to be set free from the reigns of this lover who brings only 'Weche' to her and does not uphold the promise to honour their union.

Her infectious East African strings & lead melodies drives through the drums & horns in the record, backing her rich dholuo & swahili vocals.

'Through Hey Mama we are imagining the future of how it could be - in positive ways with our emotions in the present. The song pays homage to my motherland of South Sudan and its rich cultural diversity. In it, I reference all the different states and regions with the message that 'nothing is greater than love'. - Emmanuel Jal.

Emmanuel decided to collaborate with young artist Check B after hearing his music online and noticing his unique style and flow. Check B is also a young activist who was wounded as a child in the war and now uses the arts to draw attention to peace and unity in his home country. He sings 'South Sudan is my mother, tribalism has no place, languages don't discriminate, we are all equal, no war, love is our cure.'

Jal wanted to use the collaboration and optimistic nature of the song as a vehicle to showcase the brilliant talent of young people from South Sudan and the beautiful future its people hold in their hands.

Instantly captured by the rhythmic riffs & backing vocals of the record, Gondwana Ke picked the single for the release of the extended play remix pack with cuts from from East Africa's Euggy & SURAJ, Morocco's electronic rockstar Fnx Omar & South Africa's Caiiro & Da Capo!
