DESCRIPTION:
Nice music by Marcina Arnold.

"Eska Mtungwazi and Heidi Vogel got invited down to the studio", says Marcina Arnold about the recording process for her 'Introducing' EP. "But people were showing up at different times of the day. I intended to record four tunes, which is really quite a big deal, for the amount of time that we had. It's very live, it's not over mixed and it is what it is. It's like a back-in-the-day kind of recording."

She's recorded a great song called 'Forefathers', which can be found on this EP. Marcina Arnold continues to explain... "That's how 'Forefathers' came about, it was written about my first trip back to South Africa, which is where my father's from. I met all my family out there, and realized I'd been having a bit of an identity crisis. Growing up in London, I'm surrounded by a lot of culture, and multi-racial people, but yet not really understanding where I sort of fit in. I realized it's actually about who you are, and not where you're from or the colour of your skin, but ultimately I'm from Britain. It was great to go back and meet my forefathers and where they came from, what my forefathers backgrounds were like, and also, to discover why I'm here today."
