"in 2024 myself, and a musician friend of mine from Geneva wanted to go make some new music, explode our heads and be new. we have a mutual friend from Switzerland who married a Senegales painter. his name is Mbaye Diop. He said he would go with us to Senegal and introduce us to Senegalese musicians. so, we got a little grant from the Swiss government to help with most of the expenses and we began organziing .

We flew to Dakar after a tour I had in Spain, and took a five hour taxi to San Louis in the north and we met a Studio owner by the name of Boubacar Tall. And he introduced us to musicians in San Louis. and it didn’t take long, we began making music the first day.

They spoke Wolof and a Senegalese version of French, I spoke English, my friend spoke a Swiss French. There is some singing by myself, and some words by Mbaye Diop in Wolof. meanwhile I met a singer by the name of Theresa N’gambi from Zambia, when I was touring with WITCH, the zamrock band. and so she sang alot of b/ups and often in Nyanga, her language. I blended her with my favorite American singer Kelly McFarling and it’s really kind of rich. sometimes it sounds a little like 90’s R & B and sometimes it sounds like some thing very new and not common."—Sonny
