Nyashinski starts this song with a
plea to his mother, requesting her to
remember him in his prayers, lest he
drowns. This sets the tone of the song,
as he goes further to explain how the
society has become a man-eat-man
society
On the video, Tonament of Absolute
Media Pictures understands what he is
doing, producing stellar work to match
the audio and its lyrics. It is one of the
videos that you watch and feel like it
should have a real Part II. the drums and percussion just makes
one nod his or her head in agreement
that this is a great piece of art.
When the video starts, the solo guitar
ushers us to Nyashinski, with the
guitar fading to let the singer relay his
message. Soon, the guitar returns after
Nyashinski finishes his verse, as a bass
guitar vrooms our way. The pacing of the
guitars, the creativity on the keyboard, As for the lyrics, Nyashinski does not
disappoint, bringing some smooth
rhyme scheme that makes it easy for
people to remember, or simply, cram.
Listen to this:
To bring the message home, Cedo shows police officers, demonstrators, with a lot of pushing and shoving as well as
burning tyres and teargas canisters.
In what appears to be a concept from Joe Praise (Mighty God gospel song from Nigeria, the choir keeps chanting “hayawa
ee eh ee ehe, hayawaaa” so many times (maybe Nyashinski should have given the choir some lyrics. But hey, that is his style
and I do not want to be the target of this line from the song: Wengi huishi kutafuta kasoro kwako.
To crown it, Nyashinski picks a line from Ecclesiastes (6:7): “Tunaongezea nini bidii, na roho ya mwanadamu haitosheki haki”.
I hope we can all make the world a better place by meditating about this beautiful piece of art.
