about
As long as human beings have existed we have been able to adapt to many changes in the environment. How does change affect the qualities, practices or routines that reflect lineages? Do you lose your brotherhood or sisterhood? Customs certainly are different between communities. Issues can be approached differently. In this piece Rapasa is looking at neighbourly life. How a fault in old plumbing systems can lead to a chain of miscommunication between different institutions. Not all events should be seen or treated negatively some are steps to invent ways of living a better calm life. Let’s celebrate living in harmony!
To nga’to juol ajuola,
To ng’ato bir abira,
To ng’ato tin omuoch,
Oluongona ogul,
Naleta sitiress,
Okelna barua moting’o weche siem,
Ni inyalo dar ka,
Dhako wuoro awuora,
Nyithindo wuoro awuora,
Juogi nende oloko x 2
I took my phone,
I call wuon ot,
My brother good morning,
Everything is not very good here,
Can you make time, come we talk over a cup of coffee,
Because I receive this letter is not very interesting,
Engis okonya..

Engis okonya..
Danse….Danse….

Danse….Danse….
Thu Tinda!!!

African music and distinctive otherworldly voice. His principal instrument, the Nyatiti, is an eight string lyre from Western Kenya. He has in depth understanding of traditional Nyatiti music and is able to place it in the context of today’s music landscape.

I like this duet approach in regards to jazz. The blending of the strings resonates with my taste of music. It brings me back to the Jazz scene. Rapasa Nyatrapasa Otieno
