Gilad Millo needs no introduction. The diplomat-turned-musician has treated us to some dope love ballads that will be played for many decades. Of course my favourite is Unajua<\/em> which he did with Wendy Kimani circa 2015.<\/p>\n

Anyway, we called Gilad up a few days ago to talk bout his latest track titled Mawingu<\/em><\/a> (spare some time and check it out), his short hiatus, who he wants to work with, how things have changed after the novel corona virus etc.<\/p>\n

Gilad told Ghafla<\/em> that although he is not getting shows – due to the movement restrictions that have imposed by the government to protect its citizens from COVID -19 – there is something good that he gained during lock-down.<\/p>\n

Apparently, the musician had been struggling with a writer’s block and when the government put strict measures in place to reduce unnecessary movements, he got holed up in his house writing and was able to pen down 4 jams.<\/p>\n

“For many months I wasn’t sure what to write about. I didn’t even pick my guitar but then when the government put measures in place to reduce unnecessary movement, things got quiet at night – because of the curfew – I would go to my balcony and write. I was able to write 4 songs,” he explained.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Gilad urged music fans to look forward to his next releases because they will be worth their time since he has gotten his groove back after a short hiatus (he released his last song titled Sitaki Mwingine<\/em> in November last year).<\/p>\n

He says that he’d love to work with Khaligraph Jones and Nyashinski in future, adding that their styles would blend so well on a track. However, he is not sure whether he is even on their radar.<\/p>\n
