Elsy Wameyo was born in Nairobi, Kenya and her latest musical offering, 'Nilotic', proudly explores the strength of her self-identity. Hailing from the Nilotic tribes of Kenya, Elsy’s music embraces this cultural heritage alongside her Christian beliefs and experiences whilst growing up in Adelaide, Australia. In control of her own sound, a self-produced slinking bassline and crisp shakers accompany Elsy’s confidently woven raps. With buoyant energy, Elsy raps the defiant lines, 'Let me hold a congress for the people in the back, delegate a new position', she continues, 'Rip up the monarchy, a warning of attack, yeah we're coming back, like we never left, matter of fact'. The bass guitar lingers around semi-tones, and electric guitar follows suit, but plaid with more speed and momentum, creating a sense of urgency. Elsy Wameyo says of 'Nilotic': "In search of the missing link, I dug deep attempting to dismantle what the world had so cruelly constructed. With all my irritation, confusion and fury I began to write out a game plan. Claiming back what the enemy had stolen. My heart wept until it couldn’t anymore. But as I remembered our mothers, I didn’t dare to drop another tear. Who am I?". 'Nilotic' is out today via Music in Exile - listen here! -Ellie Rose-Davies
