The internationally known British-Nigerian artist and curator Zina Saro-Wiwa just made her musical debut as SIRA*. The record "Songs for the End of the World" draws on her multidisciplinary approach to art and non-profit organising work. We spoke to Zina about musical influences from her homeland, African environmentalism and practices of deep listening.
Putting a little more effort into your art might not be easy but it's ultimately rewarding. Canadian singer/songwriter Brian DellaValle and his alter ego did so and we heavily advice you to listen to this wonderful little folk music gem.
