Namibian music is less of a musical genre than it is of a mental state a hazy emotion, an unmistakable flavor, like kapana. The moment you hear it, you know it.The exciting, rave-ready tunes of Namibian vocalist, song writer, singer Gazza exist at the nexus of club music. Suzy Eises, a fellow Namibian saxophone queen, is featured on his song "Get It on Tonight," in which she can be seen playing what appears to be a saxophone. She plays it well, converting all the characteristics of a typical saxophone, breath control, finger location, etc. into data that would influence the tone.

Gazza Get It On Tonight
Gazza Pumumu Album Review
In collaboration with his in-house composer Sam Lee Jones, Gazza creates a serene, meditative atmosphere while considering the scope of the universe.
Even though Namibia is best known for its nightlife, it is also possible to get lost in its natural grandeur away from the endless raves and wild parties. An album compilation of laid-back grooves and sensual meditations on love, loss, and the human experience called "Pumumu" was released in Namibia on December 3rd, 2016, by Gazza a singer who had fled wild parties and the splendor of the country's natural surroundings.
An article by the Namibian Newspaper on 27 February 2017, has Gazza explains the title of the album "Pumumu" as follow "Pumumu is a red-beaked hawk and that bad symbolizes bad news. But this is about me taking over new territories Universal takes me too. I want people to know the is danger whenever I am around."
Starting with the song "Can I," "Pumumu" keeps you moving from the beginning. While the ticking Afrobeat and Drumbeat and fluttering flute appear to make him engage in a conversation of his own as "Hoezt's" continues, his voice wanes as if he is losing himself deeper in thought."Get it On Tonight," another excellent dance song, concludes the proceedings in a happy mood. Saxophone diva Suzy Eises vibrates alongside blissful synth bass and saxophones.
Chikune With Stunning Heartbreak Song
There isn't much concert music composed for acoustic guitar and piano to play together, though they get along well enough in popular recordings. Without compression, how could a mere six or twelve hand-stirred strings, with a tiny hole to capture the sound, expect to equal more than 80 strings, pounded by hammers in a large reverberant crate? In the remix of her song "Pieces," which also includes Tanzania's most popular musician and recent Wasafi Record signee Mbosso, Chikune offers eight lovely responses. It is possible to feel the existence of living things.
