Kenyan singer, songwriter and performer Prince Ambasa Mandela a.k.a Mandela is renowned for his powerful voice, the message in his music and his high energy (almost spiritual) performances. At its core, Mandela’s music is real African fusion - a blend of traditional East African rhythms alongside Benga, fused with Afro beat, Jazz and a dash of Reggae. He describes himself as a brand, agent of change, a humanitarian, father, brother and a lover of people and music.In this interview we delve into his unique perspective on human relations, songwriting, and content creation. As the dynamic and super-talented lead singer of Sarabi band (one of East Africa’s most popular live bands - now defunct), Mandela wrote and composed the majority of the group’s songs. He reflects on life after Sarabi.With over 15 years’ experience in the industry, Mandela has now broken off his band Sarabi. His solo career started with the release of his solo debut EP: ‘Ona Sasa’ (2017). He talks about the process of letting go of his former band to become a solo and independent artist.Mandela has performed at several events includes Sauti Za Busara Festival in Zanzibar, Selam Festival in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, Bayimba International Festival in Kampala, Uganda, DOADOA Cultural Market in Jinja, Uganda, Tanzania’s East Africa Vibes Concert hosted by Culture and Development East Africa (CDEA) and Wikiendi Live at Nafasi Art Space in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania.Mandela’s music and lyrics are not only magical and engaging but also emotional, addictive and truth hitting.
