PLAYING FOR THE SOUL
In her 2019 debut EP, Tangawizi, Ondi shares stories on losing and re-discovering
adventure, love and identity. The music is an eclectic mix of jazz, reggae, and Kenyan
folk. The six track record, composed, sung, and performed by Ondi, features the ukulele
and guitar and emotive lyrics in English and Swahili documenting the journey through
song or spoken word. Tangawizi is special because it was recorded, mixed and
mastered and distributed through crowd funding and collaborations between
different artists and companies.
Ondi, a lawyer, teacher, mother, writer, and musician, loves sharing stories through
music, and has done so around the world; from the streets of Rome, galleries of
Spoleto, by the River Nile in Uganda, to many a stage in Nairobi, Limuru and Mombasa
in Kenya. Ondi has shared the stage with music greats Nina Ogot, Alsarah and the
Nubatones, Harry Kimani, Eric Wanaina, and Kalamashaka amongst others.
'The sultry, strange and eclectic singer,' Up Magazine Nairobi
‘Ondi is ‘a musical, poetic, intellectual, daydreamer,' What's Good Network's Nairobi.
‘Tangawizi, the EP, as well as the process of creating it, is a journey… of losing myself, of
wandering, of finding, of sharing,” Ondi
