Regina is a song of reconciliation for couples. It speaks against listening to relationship advice from friends who may not have the best intentions. It encourages couples to forgive each other for any wrongdoings and try to save their relationships.
Regina is the seventh single from #TurkanaSessions, a musical journey through the astounding culture and landscape of Turkana. This project brings together 5 artists : Jackson Nakuwa, Mourine Apuu, Jackson Ekori, and Elizabeth Korikel from Turkana along with Eddie Grey from Nairobi in an exploration of the region's musical heritage fused with soulful guitar rhythms for a sound that is rich, authentic and captivating - showing what is possible when we look to our traditional art forms and showcase them with high production values.

A Content House Kenya Project
About the Project: Turkana Sessions is the third project from The Artists Xchange, following The Flyest Wedding in Africa and Floating, Flying www.turkanafilm... . The Artists Xchange is an undertaking that brings together artists from Turkana and Nairobi to produce work that responds to the issues facing the region. The artists work in various disciplines including music, video art, film, fashion, visual art and photography. The Artists Xchange is a companion project of the feature documentary Turkana: Races for Resources www.turkanafilm... which will be released in 2023.
While Northern Kenya has historically been in the news for conflict and poverty, the region is also endowed with great beauty and cultural heritage. Its stark, arid landscape is home to Lake Turkana, the largest desert lake in the world. The lake’s distinctive green waters led it to be named the Jade Sea and its craters and crocodile-filled islands make it one of the most unique places to visit in the world.
This is a time of great change in Turkana and there is an opportunity for artists from the region and beyond to be part of the discussion and bring art to the forefront of the most urgent issues of the region. With all the valuable minerals being found in the region, communities need to be treated as equal partners. They are the custodians of a rich heritage that can inform uniquely African thinking for what these natural resource finds mean to us.
It is time to change the narrative on Northern Kenya, show the world its art forms and inspire Kenyans and Africans to look to their roots for inspiration.
