Simply Tomas - Mpenzi

Rain Man

Naweza

This album is inspired by the idea of true, reciprocal, and compatible love—the kind of love that doesn’t break you, but builds you. Every song explores a different moment in the journey of two souls who recognize each other, choose each other, and grow stronger together.

The album is rooted in the belief that real love is not chaos, confusion or pain. Instead, it is a steady force that heals old wounds, softens the past, and gives the heart a place to rest. It’s inspired by the discovery of a relationship where both people feel seen, protected, understood, and deeply valued. A love where the connection feels natural, effortless, and destined, yet powerful enough to transform everything in its path.

Across the songs, the album captures the emotional stages of this kind of love:
– the moment of recognition when two hearts align,
– the calm safety found in someone’s presence,
– the joy of compatibility and mutual devotion,
– the courage to overcome fears together,
– the renewal and healing that love brings,
– and the promise of a forever built on trust, loyalty, and shared purpose.

Musically and lyrically, the album is inspired by warm light, emotional honesty, hopeful energy, and the quiet miracle of finding someone who feels like home. It celebrates a love that grows, protects, and elevates—an enduring bond where both souls choose each other every day.

This album is ultimately a tribute to love that doesn’t hurt, love that doesn’t leave—love that transforms, strengthens, and stays.

NITACHANGE

In the city of every tribe where all people bribe.
Indeed, people strive just to stay alive.
Red for blood that's been shed
Bled from heroes never met
Bled for freedom that we were supposed to get

Nitaamka tena, ------------------------------------------------- (I'll rise again)
sitakubali kujishame ---------------------------------------- (I'm refusing to shame myself)
iwe ati hakuna change ------------------------------------- (even if people think there is no change)
Nitaamka tena, ------------------------------------------------- (I'll rise again)
sitakubali kujiframe... --------------------------------------- (I'm refusing to frame myself)
si weh, ni mi ndiyo nitachange ------------------------- (It's not you, I will change)
Nitaamka tena -------------------------------------------------- (I'll rise again)

Same script, different cast
na bado twajikwaa. ------------------------------------------- (and we still stumble)
Ka sikusupport naturn into an outcast, oooh --- (if I don't support you I turn into an outcast)
Neighbours during day turn into enemies at night.
Thayo, Kwe, Muuwo... they freakin' mean the same thing

Nitaamka tena, ------------------------------------------------- (I'll rise again)
sitakubali kujishame ---------------------------------------- (I'm refusing to shame myself)
iwe ati hakuna change ------------------------------------- (even if people think there is no change)
Nitaamka tena, ------------------------------------------------ (I'll rise again)
sitakubali kujiframe... -------------------------------------- (I'm refusing to frame myself)
si weh, ni mi ndiyo nitachange ------------------------ (It's not you, I will change)
Nitaamka tena ------------------------------------------------ (I'll rise again)

Nitaamka tena, sitakubali kujishame iwe ati hakuna change
Nitaamka tena, sitakubali kujiframe... si weh, ni mi ndiyo nitachange
Nitaamka tena

Kumbepambazuka ----------------------------------------- (It's a new dawn)
Let me hear your war cry!

(Solo)

Nitaamka tena, ------------------------------------------------- (I'll rise again)
sitakubali kujishame ---------------------------------------- (I'm refusing to shame myself)
iwe ati hakuna change ------------------------------------- (even if people think there is no change)
Nitaamka tena, ------------------------------------------------ (I'll rise again)
sitakubali kujiframe... -------------------------------------- (I'm refusing to frame myself)
si weh, ni mi ndiyo nitachange ------------------------ (It's not you, I will change)
Nitaamka tena ------------------------------------------------ (I'll rise again)

Nitaamka tena, sitakubali kujishame iwe ati hakuna change
Nitaamka tena, sitakubali kujiframe... si weh, ni mi ndiyo nitachange
Nitaamka tena

The song "Nitachange" is there to remind us that we shall not be divided by artificial social constructs and intangible and mental divisions.

Leo ni leo

RASH!! A Swahili Hard Rock band based in Nairobi that has vowed to bring the unique feeling of headbanging Swahili rock to the Modern African Society and the World as a Whole.

Lead Vocalist: Samuel ''Sam" Mwangi
Lead guitarist: Maximiliano "Max" Filardi
Rhythm guitarist: Abed "Abedi" Kariuki
Bassist: Sebastian " Sebas" Filardi
Drummer: Samuel "Gakosh" Gakungu

The band's first official release known as "Darkness and Witchcraft" has been playing on Radio stations around Kenya like XFM. RASH has performed in many gigs like the Rift Valley Festival 2014, Marabout Lounge, Choices, Club Hypnotica, Inyama Thanda, Unchained Voices (in Naivasha), Club Rumors, WARD 7 (at Secrets Lounge) and Mr & Miss USIU, just to name a few.
In 2015 RASH set the 1st of May as the official date for the even more official release of the band's first music video for the song "Let it be Rock". The band does also plan to release their first full length official album later this year, front man Sam turns in as an engaging frontman. This conbined with the outstanding guitar solos by Max, the constant and deep rhythms by Abed (rhythm guitarist) and Sebas (bassist), and the train-like kind of beat by Gakosh (drummer) makes audiences want to listen to them while on a road trip, or at a gig, or while in the shower... In other words, you will want to listen to them anywhere you go to.
Currently, the song Let it be Rock has been trending on the radio stations (especially on 105.5 X-FM).
