Track Review: Kunle Ayo ft Oliver Mtukudzi - Ile (Home)

-
When two great meet for a collaboration we all anxiously wait to be blown away. Kunle Ayo a Multi Award Winning Nigerian Jazz guitarist based in South Africa collaborated with our own Multi Award Winning Legendary artist Oliver "Tuku" Mtukudzi for this afro jazz track. How good is the track ??

Afro Jazz music by nature must be soothing and relaxing, this track definitely has those qualities. Kunle Ayo  shows his amazing guitar work on this track, in between the singing one will hear that soothing acoustic guitar. The whole track is laced with some great guitar work but for those who looking for the sweetest parts listen from, 1:43 to 1:50 and 3:42 to 3:58. In overall the instrumental is well made and sounds awesome.

The track as written on Kunle's profile
"talks to the importance of home and that feeling of comfort and safety of being at home. 
Ile inspires a longing for the familiarity of home, regardless of how close or far it is".

In terms of the singing the two artists brought their own signature styles to the track. The Yoruba and Shona blend works pretty good. Lovely Song.


The song will probably not be a massive hit like many other Afro Jazz songs but it definitely gonna outlive all of the pop hits currently topping the charts right now. A great song for that Sunday after church Braai/drive or that chilled afternoon.

Album Review: Asaph - Kingsvilla 2

Zim Hip Hop is a polarizing genre, it has its few loyal fans then for others its nearly non existent. For me most of the tracks are generic and they don't do it for me that much but now and then there comes an artist that just wows me and restores my hope in local hip hop. Asaph is one such artist, he announced his arrival with the Kingsvilla Album last year and got some heads turning. He then went on to release the follow up Kingsvilla2 and this time I decided to give myself a chance to listen to the album. After a couple of listens I was keen on making a review of the album, and get to share the project with fellow Zimbos. So ya today will be giving my thoughts on the album. The album contains 13 tracks and will be giving a track by track review . 1. City Hall Benches "Tamara voice note saying how much he misses his man Asaph and how much she is looking forward to seeing him..." This is a track for the ambitious and dreamers.  Asaph does not want to remain
