this makes us nostalgic for a puppy love we never had. vibes.

Solitude

we came across this great mix by caykh recordings of the golden days of somali music. sounds from before the war, songs from before the beautiful city of mogadishu became a battle ground for 2 decades. 

"This Mix of 70's and 80's Somali sound is a rich blend of traditional Somali folk music infused with Western funk, rock and reggae and a touch of Indian, Arabic and African flavors.

There are hardly any proper releases of this soulful sound of guitar, synthesizer and drums. I spent some months finding, compiling and editing rips of TV and live recordings on old VHS tapes and radio broadcasts to cassette tapes and here is what I got. Enjoy! With love from Mogadishu."

Teamed up with the homies Judge Kara again. This time, bringing you Kinfolk. An interesting electronic, tribal track. Started as a trap song then morphed into this after finding footage of Maasai's entertaining tourists in the Maasai Mara on YouTube. Hope y'all dig this. :)
