Remember The Team Forever Alone Anthem? CeeL Does The First Cover Of Sage’s Maskini!

I always start my articles with ‘a while back..” I need to get more creative!

Or just creative. Digressing aside, a singer feels honoured I believe when people post covers of their songs. It is one of my favorite hobbies by the way, watching youtube covers of songs I love, to see how different people intepreted the song. Some people have actually gotten signed just for posting Youtube covers, did you know that?

Meet Charles Lwande, the rest of us call him CeeL. I first ‘brought’ him to the ‘limelight’ when he posted a youtube vid of himself singing what he called the team forever alone anthen. Here’s what you need to know about him, I’m quoting from this article that I did a while back. CeeL is a singer, songwriter, rapper, guitarist and poet. Heard of slam Africa? He was the 35th slam king. Heard of Nokia’s hiphop competition don’t break the beat? He was in the top 16 lot. The list goes on. Not only is he a student of Sauti academy, he’s also a member of the Kenya’s Boys Choir. This video is actually the first time that this song has been heard, so enjoy!! Oh I forgot to add that he’s also a 2nd year law student at JKUAT Karen Campus.

Listen to his cover of Maskini, here’s the original by Sage. Who knows, they may just unleash a collabo very soon!
