Lyrics:

Recalling guards cascading down
And hardened tenderness let free
And all the little gems that we hid in sheets
For no one else to see

Don't you even miss me dear
Don't you know I care
Don't you even know I'm gone
Or was I ever there

Sweet May, she teased us and she stalled
She switched out body heat with fear
Then the sudden end of the dog days neared
And wilted promises didn't lie

Don't you even miss me dear
Don't you know I care
Don't you even know I'm gone
Or was I ever there

Borrowed time is all we have
And where we spend it will grow strong
Because I wish to build a mighty love
I will love myself in your place

Don't you even miss me dear
Don't you know I care
Don't you even know I'm gone
Or was I ever there

In Mozambique, 25th of June is known as the date where Independence came to every civilian living in the country.

As happy as we are, we still get a sweet and sour look at our daily lives. 

This shows how I reflected about this date in particular.

Hafa

iZem - Agua Viva

Taken from the album "Time Keepers" by Joburg´s collective Shadow Republik. 

Shadow Republik is a creative collective moniker of artist, singer songwriter & producer Rocksteady. The whole concept was based on the idea of having a group of activists from all over Africa uniting and creating a new sonic interpretation of our age, time and space. Shadow Republik is an idea of a creative collective existing in the shadows almost like a anonymously band or should we say the face-less band, the band that's a myth, sort of juxtaposing creative concepts and fusing music and art, beautifying spaces and occupying minds with the right ideas to overcome everyday challenges.

Be My Getaway

Shadow Republik - Be My Getaway ft. Mr. Dex

Lisbon is a puzzle of images, a labyrinth of sounds, a great landscape for the most improbable encounters, a European capital filled with Africa. This is the starting point for Meu Kamba Três, Rocky Marsiano’s seventh album. 
The heavily sample-based production methods that were so present in the sounds of previously released Meu Kamba (2014) and Meu Kamba Vol. Dois (2016) are now naturally replaced and upgraded by his beatsmith touch with a fresh approach. 

Meu Kamba Três was recorded between Lisbon and Luanda, Amsterdam and Maputo, featuring collaborations with artists such as Sagaz, Selma Uamusse (Mozambique), Prince Wadada (Angola), Milton Gulli (Mozambique) and Karlon and instrumentalists such as the percussion master Toni and Nelson da Costa (veteran guitar player from Guiné-Bissau who has played for many Guinean and Cape Verdean bands in the 80s and 90s). Also featuring on the album is Sr Alfaiate, one of Portugal’s most notorious scratch DJs. 

With Lisbon’s very own vibes as a source of main inspiration – where semba and funana, samba, kuduro and kizomba mix with hip-hop, fado, soul and house into hybrid musical forms that make us travel to the past and to the future – Meu Kamba Três is an ambitious album by Rocky Marsiano and to that effect he has brought forward all of his past as a hip-hop head, producer, DJ, MC and above all a rhythm lover. So that he could musically transmit the sense of community that has always been so present throughout his 20+ year long career into new tracks for the dancefloor. 

From Lisbon. From Africa. From the World.

Chama - Chama (feat. Milton Gulli)

From the mountains of Namaacha, in Mozambique, comes one of the most relevant and poignant MCs of Southern Africa. Azagaia is revolutionary, political and an avid critic of the mozambican government. He is censored, boycotted, even was imprisoned on false drug charges. But the fact is that he is the voice of the young generation and respected all over the country. The brazilian edition of Rolling Stone called him a “hero of the people” and in many ways he is the only voice of opposition.
“MIR - Música de Intervenção Rápida” (Rapid Intervention Music) is the new single he wrote after the last demonstration of the veterans of war that was brutally ended by the mozambican police. The Minister of Justice responded saying that sometimes the Human Rights can be violated to protect “higher interests”.
