Around the rhythms of traditional drums they compose modern tunes full of soul, drive and wisdom, blending homegrown styles like Benga with Rap or Reggae, to create their unique sound. More than just grooves, their songs dive deep to lyrically explore topics like social consciousness, environmental responsibility and personal liberty.<\/p>\n<p>Mizizi Dodo is the single to Abakisimba&#8217;s self-titled album, which marks the end to their hiatus &#8211;
