Juliani and these seven artistes worked overnight translating horrific PEV stories into this song (video)
Eight artistes from different counties of Kenya came together in this song for one reason… letting Kenyans know exactly what those affected by the PEV went through.
No! This is not a song composed from the ideas they have on what people had to go through. Not at all. They actually had to sit down with women and children, especially those from Dagoretti, as they shared their stories of struggle, triumph and hopes.
Juliani led seven other artistes through the composition of this love and peace filled lyrics, with hope that Kenya and other countries as well may learn something from it. The main lesson being LOVE ofcourse.
These eight artistes actually worked overnight in studio, to the wee hours of the morning, compiling the stories they derived from the concerned women and children, into this song, titled ‘Mama Kenya’.
I am pleased that the song possesses an Afro-Soul feel, therefore bringing out that African-Kenyan character and culture very well.
Take five minutes of your time today, and watch this video. Most importantly, listen to the lyrics, sing along, and vote wisely.
