Kenyan musician Kasiva Mutua learned drumming inspired by folktales told by her grandmother. She has developed her own knack for powerful beats and is now one of Africa’s leading percussionists and drummers. She plays music to celebrate her community’s spirit, tell her people's stories and elevate the place of the African woman in music.In this interview, she tells part of her story and that of the making of her music and debut EP ‘Ngewa’. She expounds on being close to African drums and shares more on her experience in international touring.Kasiva integrates African Traditional music with modern styles such as jazz, Hip-Hop, Reggae, funk and more. Her expressive playing can tell a story on its own, or keep a band perfectly in the pocket. The Kenya native co-founded the first all-female percussion collective in Kenya, MOTRAMUSIC (MOdern and TRAditional rhythms). MOTRAMUSIC teaches young women and girls the art of drumming, percussion and understanding rhythm as a whole. Overtime, MOTRAMUSIC has grown from a percussion based project to a sisterhood where the girls have formed lasting friendships and bonds that are another family; all through drumming.I really enjoyed this special final of our season 3 of VIP ACCESS Podcast!
