Sewa’s musical style is deeply rooted in African soul and
Jazz. She deeply loves the rich percussiveness of African music which she cultivates
this by listening to great artists like Angelique Kidjo, Miriam Makeba, Brenda
Fasi, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Lagbaja, King Sunny Ade. She also has great
affinity for soul music such as those of Sade Adu, Asa, Corrine Bailey Rae

of music.

Motherhood etc. There is no subject too complex for her to interpreted into a
song.

rewards of hard work. The song borrows rich Yoruba proverbs to pass this message
across. It is a fusion of Jazz, African rhythm and folk. It is available for
