    Mahtab meaning the splendor of the moon in the Persian language, this album is an honest reflection of myself and my music featuring the songs I have written over the years learning the Manouche swing style. This is my first ever original Album release and each song holds a different meaning to me. I hope to bring a great listening experience to you, everything you hear on this album has been done at my home studio in Bali by me with one microphone and with the help of other amazing musicians in Bali and overseas.

about

This Track was inspired to me, as I love Ali Farka Toure and African music in general. I especially love the guitar work and the rhythms. Its my own take on that beautiful music. I hope to bring joy, love and happiness to those that hear it and as the last song on the album to leave you refreshed

lyrics

Jua linakuja, Jua linakuja, Jua linakuja

Yeah the sun is coming, the river flow to the sea, so hold my hand, make the bad go !

Jua linakuja, mto unapita baharini, shika mkono wangu, fanya mabaya.

Yeah! Make the bad go, Fanya Mabaya, Make the bad go, Fanya mabaya

Roho ya upendo inapita ndani yangu, oh loving spirit flow through me, flow through me, loving spirit flow, flow through me...

Jua linakuja, Jua linakuja, Jua linakuja, Jua linakuja

Hey the sun is coming, the river flow to the sea, so hold my hand, make the bad go !

Fanya Mabaya, heh! Make the bad go, yeah! Fanya Mabaya, Make the bad go!

Roho ya upendo inapita ndani yangu loving spirit flows through me, it flow through me, it flow through me... solo!

The sun is coming, the river flow to the sea, so hold my hand, make the bad go !

Jua linakuja, Jua linakuja, Jua linakuja, Jua linakuja, Jua linakuja, Jua linakuja...
