About Big Ben

In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. I remember selling one of my cows when, I was still in high school, to buy a proper guitar. This angered my family but my grandfather said "Do as you want but take responsibility for your decisions if it doesn't work out." What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Johnny Clegg & Savuka, Heat Dust & Dreams Oliver “Tuku” Mtukudzi, Greatest Hits: The Tuku Years (1998-2002) Richard Bona, The Ten Shades of Blues These are my favorite albums because their melodies and rhythms speak to me and the world around me. This music stretches my imagination across the ages and experiences of African people, transporting me to new worlds with its captivating sound. Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Nyanga-Nyanga” I love the song because of the message and the polyrhythms I messed with. It's as if each instrument is on a different trip. It sings about a Herero saying "There will always be meat but the teeth might wear off".
