Grammy award-winning songwriter, vocalist, and composer King Mas aka “The Musical Obeah Man” speaks with Ancestral Voices about his experiences from childhood, becoming a musical artist and his spiritual beliefs.
King Mas responded to our online call seeking music donations towards the upcoming Ancestral Voices 2 sequel. We were amazed by the ‘Our Story’ track and knew instantly how it could be used within the documentary, it was as though the song was written especially for the film. We then were further surprised that find that he is a Grammy Award Winning artist and were humbled to know that he wanted to work with us and was keen to help promote the message of preserving ancestral traditions.
The collaboration is a perfect testament to how the ancestors are always working behind the scenes to make things happen, time, distance nor lack of finances prevented this union.
