Phylis is an amazing artist. You wont believe me if I told you this song was created from a jam session, plus it was a One Take sort of recording. 

Feelings - Phylis Kimani

This was the first song I recorded for my debut album, Magic In The Air. It was produced by Jim Chuchu and was inspired by a minor road accident we had on the way to Mombasa where Just A Band was performing that New Year's Eve. It's a scary thought that it could have possibly been my last new year's eve and I'm so happy that it wasn't and we made it there safely and had a wonderful time. I made a promise to let the music in my soul play freely and I'm still bumping to the soundtrack of my life.

Hope you enjoy this project. The goal was to be as open and vulnerable as possible, to write from the heart and to have fun making music.

At its core, Mandela’s music can be descried as real African fusion. A blend of traditional
East African rhythms alongside Benga, fused with Afro beat, Jazz and a dash of Reggae,
Mandela’s unique sounds and lyrics are not only magical and engaging but also emotional,
addictive and truth hitting.
At the age of 27 with over 10 years’ experience working as a singer, songwriter and
preforming artists, Mandela has performed at the following international festivals:
 Sauti Za Busara in Zanzibar, Tanzania.
 Selam Festival in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
 Bayimba International Festival in Kampala, Uganda.
 DOADOA cultural market in Jinja, Uganda.
 East Africa Vibes Concert in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania.
 Africa Oye Festival in Liverpool, United Kingdom.
 WOMEX in Budapest, Hungery.
 Roskilde festival in Denmark.
 Karibu Music Festival in Bagamoyo, Tanzania.
 Wikiendi Live in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania
Zanzibar Beach & Watersports Festival, Tanzania.
Having just finished recording his 6-track EP, Mandela is now ready to pursue his solo
career, and will release his first singles in October 2017.

Hakuna Matata Mandela Ambasa

The first single off the upcoming record Closer to The Truth

Blue Heaven

Sometimes we lose sight of the beauty that's right before our eyes. When its too late we hope for one last chance, hoping that maybe just maybe things might be what they used to be .

MAYBE [ACOUSTIC VERSION]

Wewe

This song is written for my grandfather, a man I never got to meet but who I feel so close to. It is written from the stories I have heard told of him by my mother, my grandmother and my aunties.

Today
28th anniversary of his death

I hope your heart resonates with it, and more than anything, I hope this song, even mildly, soothes the ache of losing a loved one.

Lyrics:

Mama Says,
Mama says,
You were a different man,
Mama says,
Mama says,
Gold dust was in your hands.

Mama says,
Mama says,
You had a different heart, 
When you smiled,
Oh how she saw the stars.


Mama says,
Mama says,
You had a different mind,
Twice as wise,
Just as kind,
Oh how I need you now.


Mama says,
Mama says, 
It was a different day,
The day you died,
When you died,
The wind took her star away.

Mama says,
Mama says,
There’s a certain kind of pain, 
When they don’t come back, 
So,
Please come back,
And make her whole again.

Won’t you come back? 
Won’t you come back?
Please come back.
Please come back.

Mama says, 
Mama says,
There’s a certain kind of pain, 
When they don’t come back, 
So,
Please come back,
And make our home again.
