[Ruchira @BowerNasir]

In the past 7 days I have gone to the ER for my back, gotten my period and cut my finger on a plastic lid. Whoever has my voodoo doll, please stop. Gimme smaller feet instead.

“There’s no fear in standing in my identity, for fear that I wouldn’t be claimed at home. That’s finished. The 2 years have really healed that bit of me that was unsure, or felt like I didn't belong. That’s gone” - @Sampa_The_Great on her musical evolution through the pandemic.

[Yours, Mine & Femme! @YMF_2SER]

Returning to international touring, @Sampa_The_Great and her live Zambian band have performed at @coachella, @glastonbury, @Primavera_Sound and @lollapalooza, Australia’s @VividLive and @risingmelbourne festivals.

[Yours, Mine & Femme! @YMF_2SER]

For her latest project: As Above, So Brave, @Sampa_The_Great is collaborating with @TheAvalanches, @bakerboymusic, #EmmanuelJagariChanda (#WITCH) and @angeliquekidjo, @t_allenafrobeat, @Mwanj3

[Yours, Mine & Femme! @YMF_2SER]

[3/3] "Actually being a Zambian artist who is struggling to make their art, regardless of being ‘Sampa The Great’, I actually had to feel that, I actually had to be at home to understand that" - @Sampa_The_Great

[Yours, Mine & Femme! @YMF_2SER]

[2/3] "Being here and working with artists from here, seeing the struggle of being a Zambian musician, versus Zambian musicians telling you about their struggles" - @Sampa_The_Great

[Yours, Mine & Femme! @YMF_2SER]

[1/3] "I’d never fully claimed myself to be Zambian, because I wasn’t fully raised in Zambia. That fear to me of, “I wasn’t really raised there, so am I truly this because even at home they’d say…’, that has just vanished, just from actually being here" - @Sampa_The_Great

[Yours, Mine & Femme! @YMF_2SER]

Cultural identity has always played a compelling role in @Sampa_The_Great ‘s body of work. But the pandemic influenced her to go back to her roots in a way she was never prepared for or even planned.

[Yours, Mine & Femme! @YMF_2SER]

Her works have received acclamation from the likes of @NPR, @OkayAfrica, @HuffPost, @NoiseyMusic, @ComplexMusic & won her accolades from @ARIA_Official, @Bandcamp, @BET, #AustralianMusicPrizes [2/2]

[Ruchira @BowerNasir]

Can’t wait to hear the queen on @YMF_2SER next Monday! So much excite!!!!

[Yours, Mine & Femme! @YMF_2SER]

Her innate storytelling ability, expert songwriting, & unshakeable presentation of musical ideas has solidified @Sampa_The_Great as one of the front-runners in Australia's new wave of hip hop. [1/2]

[Yours, Mine & Femme! @YMF_2SER]

“The goal isn’t to come back & be like, “Guys I’m Zambian,” it’s coming back & saying it with assurance. Before, there was doubt. Now it’s fully claimed from being back home & immersing myself & working with my people. That’s where the confidence now” - @Sampa_The_Great [2/2]

[Yours, Mine & Femme! @YMF_2SER]

Described as the ‘Zambian-born, Botswana-raised, Australia-based’ artist in the start of her career, @Sampa_The_Great quickly graduated to being known as ‘Australia’s own’ as we embraced her as one of us, further fueling her to highlight her cultural pride in her music. [1/2]

[Yours, Mine & Femme! @YMF_2SER]

It is empowering for artists to share their culture through their art. Especially when representing an identity that has gone vastly unnoticed. Tune in this Monday 7pm on @2ser to catch @BethCTracey & @BellaMichie99’s interview with👑@Sampa_The_Great👑 #YMF

[Yours, Mine & Femme! @YMF_2SER]
