You write sonbeautifully chica. So, so beautifully

Njoki imagine you are out of this world! Good job on your entire existence and thank you for sharing you.

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.

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.

Theme: Taboo (African Acoustic #13)
