Cover of 80s East African Swahili hit "Shauri Yako".

I've always loved this song, and thought I'd give it a spin. Although frequently incorrectly attributed to Orchestre Super Mazembe, "Shauri Yako" was originally sung by Zairean Nguashi N'timbo and his Orchestre Festival du Zaire in 1981. Listen to the original here: https://bit.ly/374km7V

Rearranged, performed and produced by Jim Chuchu.

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

SERVE CHILLED OUT NOW !
@m2thepower3 x @w_ciano_m 

Titled 'Earned It' , the first track off our collaborative E.P, titled "SERVE CHILLED", speaks about overcoming one's own fears and the hurdles of life and acknowledging the polishing qualities of hardship. While tying this to the cumulative nature of cause and effect that we are either victims or effectors of, the song speaks about being aware of our actions and intentions because life is a spiral and bad days will come, but eventually we will rise above it all and will have grown and earned the peace, joy and love in our lives.

CHORUS

Like the breaking waves and their,
And their undertows, that carry away
All, the crushed debris, clean out
The cracks, and smoothen the rocks out

I am who I am today,
Moulded by the storms that billow my way,
I have fought my fears for years,
To yield all this peace, I earned it.

GLOOMY MORNING - @m2thepower3 , @user-235578717 & @matt-matthew-owegi

There were three idiots who dreamed of a new life in space. It could have been too soon, the weather isn’t even right, who even goes to space at that time of the year?
...But it was time. 

The countdown began and the noise became louder and louder, they began to shake in their supercool space shuttle. No one was there to say goodbye, as they journeyed on to a better life. But they had each other.

As the stars grew closer and closer, they begin to see a newer life. A newer morning.
One that would never be as gloomy as the last. These three would no longer be idiots.
These three would never see another GLOOMY MORNING

GLOOMY MORNING w/ Emma Cheruto & Matt Owegi [Lyric video link in Description]

My world was thrown in limbo after I lost someone dear to me recently. I was staunchly reminded that time, however long or short, is temporary and you never get any moments back, neither do moments repeat. 
But you can hold onto the good things they did, said or were to you.
So I'm still holding on.

Original song by Simply Red; covered by Gretchen Parlato
