Green City has been five years in the making. It started life as a field recording in Nairobi back in 2019, going through numerous studio sessions with a host of incredible musicians - the likes of Kokoroko’s Yohan Kebede, Golden Teacher’s Laurie Pitt, Guitarist Ziggy Funk, Joe Howe (ex Ben Butler & Mousepad) - all collaborating across multiple sessions in London and Glasgow before travelling back to Kenya last year to record the beautiful vocals of Ambassa Mandela. I took it all back into the studio this year and created the two versions that I am very happy to present to you now.
I’m super proud of how it all came together and hope it brings you as much joy as it brings to me. I was definitely inspired by Fela Kuti with the extended version - letting the groove run for as long as possible until the vocal drops. And letting all the amazing musicians I collaborated with have their time to shine.
I’ll be sharing more around the story behind the track and some of the amazing feedback it has been getting. In the meantime, please go ahead and pre-order the limited edition vinyl!
Absolutely fucking fantastic!
