Swiss-ugandan singer songwriter & rapper, Awori, joins forces with Lyon-based beatmaker Twani for their first joint album, Ranavalona.

The title pays tribute to the last queen of Madagascar, Ranavalona III, a figure in the anticolonial struggle. The record is a blend of hip-hop, neo-soul, R&B and afrobeats.

lyrics

VERSE 1:
Do the right thing like Spike Lee
You the cake, they the snakes evidently
You can speak but you must tread lightly
Flying high like a kite easy breezy
Win the race like slow and steady
Might act wild but you know we’re ready
35 mm point and shoot
Looking so good in my birthday suit
Hair all out baby i look cute
Hustlin’ hard like the restless youth
Won’t return until we through
Might be gone till november too
Said i had a better chance to pursue
Dreams that are now well overdue
If you leave everything you ever knew
But i still don’t know if it were true

HOOK:
Njakukomawo enkya nkomawo
Njakukomawo enkya nkomawo
Njakukomawo enkya nkomawo
Njakukomawo enkya nkomawo
Nkomawo enkya nkomawo
Nkomawo enkya nkomawo
Nkomawo enkya nkomawo
Nkomawo enkya enkya

Mati Diop Atlantique
Footsteps on troubled seas
Put your hopes all in me
Hear the voices repeat

BRIDGE:
Maama agamba ki
Taata agamba ki
Jajja agamba ki
Ssenga agamba ki
Kojja agamba ki
Jajja agamba ki
Taata agamba ki
Maama agamba ki

HOOK:
Njakukomawo enkya nkomawo
Njakukomawo enkya nkomawo
Njakukomawo enkya nkomawo
Njakukomawo enkya nkomawo
Nkomawo enkya nkomawo
Nkomawo enkya nkomawo
Nkomawo enkya nkomawo
Nkomawo enkya enkya
