Namibian-born folk artist Sasha Dawe returns with Here I Am, a striking 5-track EP that fuses poetic storytelling with rhythmic, cross-cultural flair. Following his acclaimed debut The Boat, Dawe leans deeper into his African roots, blending country-folk and blues with vibrant, percussive textures that reflect his upbringing on a remote Namibian mine.
The EP’s lead single, Because We Forgot, showcases Dawe’s signature blend of warmth and introspection. Drawing comparisons to John Martyn and Dawes, the track pairs playful guitar lines and organic rhythms with reflective lyricism, celebrating the power of memory and personal growth. Its accompanying video—filmed across the Namibian wilderness and his home studio—adds a rich visual layer to the music’s heartfelt core.
With Here I Am, Sasha Dawe emerges as a fearless voice in modern folk, pushing the genre’s boundaries with authenticity, soul, and a sense of place that’s both deeply personal and universally resonant.
