Taata Ee” Kizomba Version is a Devotional Masterpiece
Nsay ki la, a talented musician and songwriter, makes available a kizomba version of his song “Taata Ee”. The song is originally track 2 of the “Overflowing EP”. And that EP version is afrobeats.
The lyrics of the Kizomba version are the same as those of the original version in the Overflowing EP. But this version is slower, and danceable, because of course it’s Kizomba.
The Unique Fusion of Kizomba and African Rhythms:
The kizomba version of “Taata Ee” is a unique fusion of traditional African rhythms and contemporary kizomba beats. The combination of these rhythms creates a catchy and somewhat upbeat sound that is sure to get listeners moving.
The kizomba beats add an energetic and modern twist to the traditional African rhythms, making the song a perfect blend of old and new. Yet, it keeps something of its deeply devotional nature. This is achieved by the use of more strings than percussions and softened voices.
The Devotional Message of the Song:
“Taata Ee” is a devotional song, calling God “Taata”, which means Father or Lord in Lamnso’. It highlights that throughout history, different peoples have used varied names to refer to God. We can think for example of the names of God in the Holy Bible, such as El Olam, Elohim, Adonia, etc.
Jesus taught us to call him “Abba”. That’s much like “Dad” or “Daddy”, a child’s fond name for the Father. This song refers to God as “Taata”. Effectively, it calls God by another name, in a language that makes the name more relevant, and gives a sensation of closeness.
Spirituality and Kizomba?
Kizomba is more popular for its sensuality and expression of the emotion of love. One may wonder: why use this genre for a devotional song? Well, the question is, why not!
Calling God “Taata” evokes a feeling of closeness. There is a filial emotion attached to it. And in the end, the Kizomba beats more easily capture when one fully immerses themselves into the song.
Nsay ki la’s talent as a musician and songwriter is on full display in this kizomba version of “Taata Ee”. The production by Marc Eff of Kovapot adds the perfect kizomba beats that perfectly complement the lyrics and melody of the song while preserving its devotional element.
