Watch The Behind The Scene Video For Walking By Nanjira!

Writing about this song, was the first time an article I did got 5000+ hits.  So you can imagine how special it is to me!

I can wax lyrical about this song again, but I dont need to, I already did so read about it here.

There’s a few details I left out in the original piece. According to Nanjira, shooting with Macharia was her 4th attempt at the video! Unwavering determination I tell you. The first 3 times were a sad series of mishaps. When he heard the song, he resolutely decided he must shoot a video for it.  The song was produced by Blackman, read about another artist he recently worked with here.

I of-course had to get Macharia’s version of the events that transpired prior to the video’s shooting. He said and I quote, “Walking was a record I came across while I was in the studio with Blackman. He was playing some of his new songs for me, and “Walking” happen to be one of them. Soon as I heard it I just new this was one of those records I have to shoot…” Read more about Andrew Macharia’s journey here, he shot the ‘Way Too Gone’ video for American Hiphop superstar Young Jeezy.

He continues to say, “It was a very different sound from what we usually hear locally. And for me, I loved what the song was about. I wrote the treatment the next day and sent it over to Nanjira who I hadn’t met yet, but she ended up loving it. So we met a couple days after and shot it two weeks later.” Great things are made of these!

Watch the behind the scenes footage below. It was shot on location at Ramara Design House, produced and directed by Razorwire Productions. Special credits go to Maqbuli Mohammed, Muthoni Maingi, Mutua Matheka who did the photography as well as Macharia Andrew and  Phiny of Razorwire. This song by the way highlights domestic violence, which many women including KTN’s Anne KIguta have undergone.
