Muziqa is a celebration of the diverse music that emanates from the African continent and musicians of Okavango African Orchestra. Though we hail from different cultures and speak different languages, we communicate through our instruments, the melodies and rhythms of our cultural heritages. The song also pays tribute to the legends that inspired me to play my instrument, the krar, my best friend and lifelong companion, through the good and bad times.
