MENTAVIBE has released “Maneno,” an Afro-Pop and Afro-Fusion track about the lasting impact of words, memory and truth. The title is shortened from the Swahili phrase “Maneno Hayazeeki,” meaning “Words Do Not Age.”
Written, composed and produced by Juergen Joe Bauer, the song combines organic percussion, melodic bass and layered Swahili vocals. Its lyrics contrast physical changes in the world with the lasting influence of spoken words, focusing on expressions of love and speaking out against injustice.
MENTAVIBE is an independent music project created by Bauer, combining African rhythms, electronic production and Swahili vocals.
“Maneno” is available on streaming platforms.
