About Me |
|
| "Music is that which takes you to a place where only uncertainty prevails.. yet anchoring you here.. " (Mutinda) Mutinda is a self-tought musician who began pursuing career in his childhood by playing a home-made guitar. Since the beginning of the year Mutinda has been recording his new album "MATOPENI" at Indigo Studios in Kenya under the production of Abbi and metta metta ART . The album is still in production, however some of the songs can be listened to here on myspace. In his songs, Mutinda talks about the adorable and even the detestable things life presents. Marrying traditional instrumentation such as nyatiti, maboom-boom drums etc. with modern elements, he has created a unique style of soul-searching melodies and contagious rhythms. His life’s work is dedicated towards creating ideas of harmonious interactions that serves all without departing from his indigenous truth. His magnificent interpretation of feelings lead him to become the Kenyan top male artist in the Spotlight on Kenyan Music competition in 2005. "The outside inspiration is only secondary to the inspiration I find in solitude and silence going within. It is as though life already has created the song, and brings it to my attention to listen... and capture it".. (Mutinda) Besides making music, Mutinda has for several years been working with a group of boys from Mathare in Nairobi. Through music he encourages the boys to know life to be more than their environment and that it is possible to find grace and humbleness in the midst of the toughest life-conditions.
