'Through Hey Mama we are imagining the future of how it could be - in positive ways with our emotions in the present. The song pays homage to my motherland of South Sudan and its rich cultural diversity. In it, I reference all the different states and regions with the message that 'nothing is greater than love'. - Emmanuel Jal.

Emmanuel decided to collaborate with young artist Check B after hearing his music online and noticing his unique style and flow. Check B is also a young activist who was wounded as a child in the war and now uses the arts to draw attention to peace and unity in his home country. He sings 'South Sudan is my mother, tribalism has no place, languages don't discriminate, we are all equal, no war, love is our cure.'

Jal wanted to use the collaboration and optimistic nature of the song as a vehicle to showcase the brilliant talent of young people from South Sudan and the beautiful future its people hold in their hands.

Instantly captured by the rhythmic riffs & backing vocals of the record, Gondwana Ke picked the single for the release of the extended play remix pack with cuts from from East Africa's Euggy & SURAJ, Morocco's electronic rockstar Fnx Omar & South Africa's Caiiro & Da Capo!
