“VWETO III is intended for movement. It’s to be played when you birth yourself back outside after a long introspective period to get the things you need. It intends for you to be your own superhero and wants to be your theme for power.” Georgia Anne Muldrow
Georgia Anne Muldrow have also shared the album’s lead single, “Mufaro’s Garden“. Georgia’s inspiration for this enchanting and balmy jazz-schooled track was a folktale book called Mufaro’s Beautiful Daughters , which was illustrated by John Steptoe. “There’s a frame in that book that’s so amazing, of Mufaro looking over his garden which joins with the rest of the land, and in the far distance, you can see the historic sight of Great Zimbabwe. I remember as a child spending hours just looking at this picture, wishing I could go there,” she recalls.
