A Little About 'The Exorcism Of A Spinster'

This album doesn't seek to answer any questions; instead, it interrogates. I hope with this music we all learn more about each other and foster tolerance more than judgement. From songs like the opening track 'Gomba', that speaks to the preservation of my African heritage handed to us by our ancestors; to the title track, 'Exorcism Of A Spinster' which, very generally, narrates an exorcism done in Harare, the album represents a type of young African woman floating somewhere in between her dreams and the natural urge to fit in.
