Hey Mama - Emmanuel Jal feat. Check B || OFFICIAL VIDEO

A Journey to South Sudan...

"Hey Mama is a song for us to imagine our future in a positive way and how we can be part of the solution." - Emmanuel Jal

Sticking to his message of peace, love and unity in his home country of South Sudan, Emmanuel Jal releases “Hey Mama” an Afro pop record that pays homage to his motherland and it’s rich cultural diversity. Jal collaborates with Juba’s Check B, a young activist who was wounded as a chid in the war and who also uses the arts to promote a positive future for young people.

Together they sing, "South Sudan is my mother, tribalism has no place, languages don’t discriminate, we are all equal, no war, love is our cure.” The single is picked from Jal's up & coming studio album titled - Shangah. Remixes will also be released in December 2021, through Kenyan based record label Gondwana Ke from South African producers Da Capo and Black Motion, Kenyan DJs SURAJ and Euggy and Moroccan based Dj/Producer Fnx Omar with more to come! The video directed by acclaimed Kenyan Director Enos Olik and sponsored by the ethical footwear brand Twins for Peace takes Emmanuel and friends on a road trip across the country as it name checks the different regions and towns dotted across South Sudan with the visuals celebrating the beautiful textured culture of South Sudan and its people.

Hey Mama is the first single off Emmanuel's upcoming album 'Shangah' which will be released in May 2022.
