What did I tell you last night about PMOI? I told you the homegirl Amelia was putting in some next level work over there, right? Well, here’s another example of what she do – she’s come through with an exclusive track from the insanely talented Eska! You don’t understand how long I’ve BEEN waiting to hear new material from this lady…
This one is especially for all you Zimbos out there. I am not a confident Shona speaker let alone writer…Kutaura chiShona kunonetsa stereki??…but I delighted in saying the most ridiculous things to my Mbuya (grand mother) when she was alive. Irony does not really exist in the Shona language so you can only imagine my English sense of humour translated into ridiculous/surreal shonglish…often resulting in her laughing hysterically…which made me so warm inside.
My opening lyric, ‘Tino famba tese’ is translated, ‘We can walk together’.
And on that note…Pamberi ne Zimbabwe!
AMAZING! Just amazing. Eska’s voice is surreal, I could eaaasily listen to it all day and night. She’s just awesome. Her style, her melodies – everything. Just beautiful. I love it. Cannot wait for the album, which we’re being told should be mastered this Autumn!
Peace, Love & Eska

P.s I’m not the biggest Police fan, so understand my lack of acknowledgement – but yes, this is indeed a ‘reworking’ lol
