The first track of the band's debut album Wahala Wahala (meaning stress or trouble) 'For My People' comes accompanied with a beautifully animated video created by Hector Kuenzler-Byrt and Gabriela Bran. 

Wahala Wahala is a groovy, energetic celebration of togetherness and African identity, in spite of adversity (K.O.G. (Kweku of Ghana)'s journey to the U.K. was filled with wahala). Read more in next issue's review (#147). 

"['For My People'] is a cry for freedom and love amongst all people in spite of hardships," says K.O.G. "It’s a song celebrating our roots as Africans with sweet guitars and drums and township grooves."
