Women are more precious than gold, treat them with maximum respect
7th November 2009: Cloud Tissa has released a new LP which is a blend of different musical styles including Reggae, Afro Beat and Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop. The 16 track LP titled “Physically Fit” features songs like “Cloud 9”, “Respect”, “Shakatak” and the number 1 smash hit “Physically Fit” among others.   While preparing this LP, Cloud collaborated with many East African and international household musicians and producers who have cut a niche for themselves in the genre of the music they perform. The musicians featured are Wyre, Nameless, Kidum, RnB top singer Didier Wayo, German rapper P Tah (hoerspiel crew) among others. Some of the producers he worked with include Robert ‘R Kay’ Kamanzi, Julian Hruza, Eric Musyoka among others. In the track “Respect”, Cloud makes a passionate appeal to men to respect women. Women deserve respect, show them respect, he says. Cloud says that a woman is strong and more precious than gold. He praises women’s hard work and appreciates their domestic duties. When everybody is already asleep at night, the woman is still awake doing domestic work, he says. Cloud thanks women for the important role they’ve played in his life and prays asking God to bless them. “Treat your woman with maximum respect,” Cloud tells men. Cloud developed a passion for music at the age of 13. In 1998 he released his first single “Laumu” meaning blame in Swahili when he was only 15 years old. His involvement in a Kenyan television program dubbed “Mizizi” propelled his single to number 1 for two months on the Kenyan charts. Cloud later teamed up with Rufftone and Eddy to release another successful track called “Its Up 2 U”. He has toured with one of Africa’s brightest female stars, Sali Oyugi, performing with the Hot Road Band which was made of top musicians like Kidum among others. Cloud has appeared in different major shows and shared stage with internationally renowned artistes like The Wailers, Third World, Patrice, Alpha Blondy, Lucky Dube and many more. After conquering the East African charts, the Kenyan raised Rwandese musician set his sights on other markets and released his first album called “1st Chapter” featuring songs like “Sunshine Lady”. The video of this song was featured in several TV programmes throughout Africa and became one of the very few Swahili songs to be aired on radio and television stations in Europe. Cloud’s other successful tracks include “Ngoma”, “Dusk till Dawn” and “Light it up”. He is indeed expanding the boundaries of music with his unique artistic style and has extended his creative skills in directing and editing music videos for himself and other artists such as 3gga feat, Million Stylez, Coolio, SteLa feat. Warren G., Hoerspiel Crew and many others. Cloud believes that music is life. In fact he can’t imagine his life without music. “Physically Fit” has been released by Maisha Records.
