S4: EP 14 | Bakhita - "Hoping to Expand The Space Of Taking Up Space"


Listen Later

Bakhita is a multi-disciplinary Kenyan artist who vividly delves into descriptive sentences aimed at tugging all of your senses and scopes into perspective through a symphony of Urban Jazz, Afro Funk, and Neo Soul. Their tone is husky and bright as they dominate multiple key ranges.

In this interview, Bakhita expounds on how they use their vocals, visual art, set and conceptual design, to create art. Their art is heavily influenced by their introspective nature, concerned about understanding the self, behavior and emotion; synonymously layered with reflective and insightful undertones, interweaving and borrowing from the muse of nature in the Kenyan Climate. Bakhita also creates Afro Surrealist universes that challenge biased and discriminatory systems that affect marginalized communities: African women, LGBTQ+, sexual abuse victims, and mental health victims. Their message of light, rebirth and societal change enchants and inspires various consumers and creatives alike.

Their discography includes Chamo Mile: PYE (2020) and ‘Purge’ (2021). Link to stream Bakhita’s new single: https://orcd.co/aftertwo_bakhita
