Time is running fast these days in our world of smartphones and social media. Finding time to take a break for resting the body and soul is not an easy task. Music, after all, can be a way out of it… Sema Lo, Switchstance Recordings newest artist signing, has the cure for all this digital stress, the “Slow Life”.
Lorenz Herrmann aka Sema Lo was born and raised in Germany, and after studying Swahili in Berlin and Dar Es Salaam, he found himself rapping in Swahili and making good friends in the music scene. As cultural activist and music lover, he finally decided his energy would be more needed and efficient in East Africa, so he found himself moving to the beautiful island of Zanzibar in Tanzania in 2015.
His integration in the local music scene on Zanzibar, made him realise that modern day music business can only be done right, if one can balance the two different worlds of it: the joyful moment of creating music with friends and band mates while still keeping up with the business side of it: social media, phone calls and emails. Mainly working on other artist and careers in the past years, he now found a new home with Switchstance Recordings and is finally releasing his own music as well.
Sema Lo is spreading his messages in Kiswahili, German and English, always on a conscious level, navigating through different identities and addressing social issues.
“Slow Life” is produced by Stone Town Records raised and bred DJ Walid, featuring ward winning Tanzanian Reggae and Dancehall artist Hardmad and the beautiful soul Jamila on vocals duties.
But what is the “Slow Life”? This is how Sema Lo describes it in his own words:
“Slow Life is a song that truly expresses my annoyance of the crazy fast life we live in…having to be on the phone all the time…all the social media crap going on…especially young, but also older people, really being fixed to their phones for everything…so the song is about actively leaving the phone at home, going out and enjoying the Slow Life…the real non-digital life…meeting up with your friends…chatting and spending quality time while your phone is at home…recording the song was like a family thing with Jamila and Hardmad… Jamila is a really good friend in Zanzibar and we spent a lot of quality time aka Slow Life together…Hardmad is a Reggae legend in Tanzania and it´s a big honor to have him on the song…Hardmad and Jamila bring in a little different style that fits perfectly to my idea of the song…”
Since calling Zanzibar his home, Sema Lo became one of the founding members and managers of music production and artist empowering community Stone Town Records, which is located in the island´s capital Stone Town. He is also the founder and mentor of video production studio NAD Edutainment and the manager of uprising Zanzibar ensemble Siti & The Band.

The Circle Of Confusion feat. Cornel Campbell - "Yesterday Was History"... (rocafortrecords.bandcamp.com)At the start of the year, we released our first roots reggae 45 outing in the form of The Circle of Confusion featuring the legendary Studio 1 vocalist Cornel Campbell. Warm, feel-good, socially conscious, intergalactic dub.
We hoped for more, and finally it’s here. Although slightly more digital in production, “Yesterday was History” cannot claim to differ enormously from its predecessor. But hey, why mess with the formula when the results are pure and damn near perfect?
The Circle of Confusion are a Swiss production duo: Seb.K (Shakedown productions) and Phil’eas (Black Diamond Sound).Recorded at Addis records in Geneva on the day of Mandela’s passing, this track is another slice of dubby humanity-driven peace and love that buoyantly skips along aided by the sweetest scatting voice in reggae, (not showing any signs of its 73 years), and all the appropriate studio space-age sound effects, harmonics and vintage keys. Modern roots reggae at its best, where the dub version is as banging and cosmic as the A side.credits

Lyrics:
I see myself as morning sunrise, that is certain of the morning
I see myself as the moon sure to come following the sun
There ain't no place that Rasta can't go
No no no, no (no)
There ain't no place that Rasta can't go
Oh no no no, no (no)
There ain't no place that Rasta can't go
Oh no no no, no (no)
There ain't no place that Rasta can't go
Oh no no no, no (no)
From the lowest of depths, to the highest of heights
Walk with you in darkness, just to show you the light
Like a blind man patiently waiting to restore his sight
All upon your wrong-doing, just to show you the right
Never you take Natty meekness for weakness
(Never you take his meekness for weakness)
If it was an eye for an eye, half the world would be blind
Envy and hatred long gone, man have lef' dem behind
See myself as the sun which rises, shining over mankind
There ain't no place that Rasta can't go
Oh no no no, no (no)
There ain't no place that Rasta can't go
Oh no no no, no (no)
There ain't no place that Rasta can't go
Oh no no no, no (no)
There ain't no place that Rasta can't go
Oh no no no, no (no)
Heights of great men reign and kept were not attained by sudden left
There while their companions slept, were busy toiling
Heights of great men reign and kept were not attained by sudden left
There while their companions slept, were busy toiling
[?]
Take I from the hills to the sea
Cast her like Jonah to the whale
Over four million strong, by force they set sail
Now I see?
He was surrounded by no guards for centuries
Now I see Ras' strolling white house
Make security appear like Mickey Mouse, woiie!
There ain't no place that Rasta can't go
Oh no no no, no (no)
There ain't no place that Rasta can't go
Oh no no no, no (no)
There ain't no place that Rasta can't go
Oh no no no, no (no)
There ain't no place that Rasta can't go
Oh no no no
Tell you, tell you wha' gwaan... (no)
From the lowest of depths, to the highest of heights
I'll walk with you in darkness, just to show you the light
Like a blind man patiently waiting to receive his sight
All upon your wrong-doing, just to show you what's right
Never you take Rasta meekness for weakness
(Never you take his meekness for weakness)
If it was an eye for an eye, half the world would be blind
Envy and hatred long gone, man have lef' dem behind
See myself as the sun which rises, shining over mankind

One life to live Rept x
Take a look at me tell me what do you see
You dont have to love me but am not your enemy
And am not amused by your verbal abuse
You think you are clever what a sorry excuse
Playing with the minds of people dangerous games they play
Man if you are not careful they lead you a stray
Protect your soul by any means necessary
Take nothing for granted
You may be sorry ooohhh
One life u've got to live
Come on lets us live it right
If u're in bed with the devil
Then you ave made your choice
Because
We've been battered and bruised
We've been battered and bruised
We still nursing wounds
Battered and bruised still nursing my wounds
Battered and bruised yea still nursing my wounds
Battered and bruised yeah still nursing wounds
We face all form of human segregation
Who use to ask me ware i am from
They brought us here in shackles and chain
And throughout the centuries its nothing but pain
We've been battered and bruised
We've been battered and bruised
We still nursing wounds
Battered and bruised still nursing my wounds
Battered and bruised yea still nursing my wounds
Battered and bruised yeah still nursing wounds
We've been battered and bruised

Battered and bruised yea still nursing my wounds
Battered and bruised yeah still nursing wounds
Take a look at me tell me what do you see
You dont have to love me but am not your enemy
And am not amused by your verbal abuse
You think you are clever what a sorry excuse
Playing with the minds of people dangerous games they play
Man if you are not careful they lead you a stray
Protect your soul by any means necessary
Take nothing for granted
You may be sorry ooohhh
One life u've got to live
Come on lets us live it right
If u're in bed with the devil
Then you ave made your choice -

Playing For Change (PFC) is a movement created to inspire and connect the world through music, born from the shared belief that music has the power to break down boundaries and overcome distances between people. The primary focus of PFC is to record and film musicians performing in their natural environments and combine their talents and cultural power in innovative videos called Songs Around The World. Creating these videos motivated PFC to form the Playing For Change Band—a tangible, traveling representation of its mission, featuring musicians met along their journey; and establish the Playing For Change Foundation—a separate 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to building music and art schools for children around the world. Through these efforts, Playing For Change aims to create hope and inspiration for the future of our planet.
