NYUMBANI ft. Enika, Carol Uliwa, Essau Pwelle

"Mbingu", meaning "heaven" in Swahili, is a groovy Afro-pop and world music number that pays homage to the splendour of mother nature, and calls for its protection.
Produced by Cork-based Cian Sweeney, "Mbingu" weaves together a tapestry of musical influences and languages. Sung in English, Spanish, and Swahili, the song is driven by a captivating Lingala-style guitar riff, and features spoken messages about mother nature from around the world. “Mbingu” culminates in a cacophony of voices singing harmonies together.
Kiruu says: "Mbingu is a tribute to the beauty of our planet and its natural and cultural diversity. I hope it inspires listeners to appreciate and protect the natural world, and to listen to each other and to the wisdom already there within our ancient cultures"
Fans of Afro-pop, world music, and anyone who appreciates a soulful, rhythmic journey will find "Mbingu" to be a delightful addition to their playlists.

Mbingu

Kyanite tells the story of the moment when a lifelong unrequited love is accidentally revealed.

"I never saw you as a friend" is the thoughts of a person who has loved their friend, in silence for years, always being afraid to say a word.

"Kyanite" is a strong blue aluminosilcate mineral (or stone). It is the colour of the eyes of the person that is so long and deeply loved.
