Documentary series Homelands kicks off, with a brand new episode featuring Shakka.
The singer/songwriter explores his Dominican heritage in the short documentary. Whilst there, Shakka also made some brand new music inspired by his roots.
Speaking on creating the new song, Shakka said, “This was new – I had never collaborated with an outfit who specialised in Bouyon. Neither had I made music in the country of my parents birth. I don’t know if it were the stew chicken I had before we started, or the buzz of carnival still in my system. After 5 minutes, making the song felt like clockwork.”
