Pacha

I wanted to make a song just for twins. I remembered that song that goes "Twin, where have you been?" and it hit me that I didn't know a single Swahili song made for twins. So I made one.

Pacha means "twin." The story goes like this: one of the twins is stubborn. He won't listen to anyone. But like most twins, they can feel what the other one is going through, so she reaches out to him. And he loves it. He feels special that someone's looking for him like that. He just doesn't answer her the way he should.

That's what the cover is about. The magnifying glass is the search, and all around it are love hearts and letters, everything sent out looking for someone.

In the video, Mina is busy taking selfies while her twin keeps calling, and she just doesn't pick up. If you've ever been on the other end of that, you know how outrageous it feels. I've been there. It's not fun at all. But the song exists because of a gap: a Swahili song for twins that, as far as I knew, nobody had made yet, me included. So I made it.

Find the gap. Then bring all of you into it.
