Every so often, the music scene graces us with an anticipated twist. He might not have been born in Alabama, or discovered in Nashville, but Elvis Nyaruri has defied the odds and made us appreciate Country music.
Having debut his musical career with I Just Cannot Wait to Go Back Home, typically a story about those of us who can’t just wait to go back home.And having followed it up with I’ll Be Doing Fine. A story about everyone who has been in that place, where we have been hurt in a relationship or a situationship, but still hold our heads up and look for a brighter day. In Mombasani, marries both ideas, in a story that is Gichagi.
Elvis is born and raised in the Coastal town of Mombasa. In this hit song, he pays homage to the place where he was born, raised, and gradually made him the artist and man he is.
Following up I Just Cannot wait To Go Home, Elvis artistically takes you through, this magical region in Kenya. Giving insight to its people, environs and their celebration and appreciation to the simple pleasures of the coastal strip of Kenya.
Having co-composed the song with the talented Canadian guitarist Marc Van Rosi, and with the careful mastering skills of Jesse Bukindu, everything about the production of this particular hit takes you through a nostalgic memory for those of us who have been in the coast region, and for those of us who haven’t been there, it paints an image of this magical place we should visit.
The imagination of Tony De Gigz productions on the visual really sum up the vison that Elvis had when he thought of his birthplace and Gichagi in general.
Elvis makes Mombasa and in general Kenya a happy place to be.
