Tay Grin and Tanasha Donna
DJ Edu talks to Malawian hip-hop artist Tay Grin about how traditional music influences his work, and hears how Kenyan singer Tanasha Donna has found a new focus for her music.
Tay Grin is a hip-hop artist from Malawi who says he’s strongly influenced by traditional music from his country. He uses Malawian drums and rhythms mixed with contemporary urban sounds, and his stage shows often feature ornately clad traditional dancers.
Also in the programme is Kenyan singer Tanasha Donna. She’s a well-known model, influencer and businesswoman, but following on from her 2020 hit song Gere with her ex, Diamond Platnumz, she says she’s realised her potential in music and is determined to take it more seriously.
