Sweet and Sawa—An Album (2018)

Sweet and Sawa is the Nest Collective’s very first studio album! It features 10 songs written, produced, and performed by us, exploring some prickly issues that we as Kenyans are always turning over, like religion and politics. This project was transformative for us: because it was the first time for a few of the team members to venture into music, there was a lot of self-discovery, as well as exploration of diverse musical abilities.
