    Nayabenge is a group comprised of two individuals who had a deep understanding of what good music was and wanted to create something different in Hip Hop in the late 90's. With both of them being immigrants, Swa from the Congo and Serge from the Ivory Coast, it made the process seem like it was something that was destined to happen. The work ethic paid off but because of unforeseen challenges that approached, the EP never saw the light of day. These are some of the tracks that existed on that project.
    The definition as taken from Manifestrhythms.com states that Nayabinghi drums originated in the Congo,Africa thousands of years ago. They are peaceful war drums used for the protection of Queen Naya. Their use in the Caribbean, especially Jamaica, is a direct response to colonial oppression of the black people. Rastafarians interpret the name Nayabinghi as "death to all oppressors black and white", or more traditionally, "she who possesses many things".
