Raised between Zambia and Botswana, with time spent in America before settling in Australia 5 years ago, Sampa The Great releases this music video celebrating her cultural heritage. 

Final Form sees Sampa travel back to Zambia to explore the traditions and communities of her roots. Bridging the gap between the worlds of Nyau dancers and modern Zambian youth culture, it was filmed in the run up to her first ever shows on African soil. “The video was inspired by the belief of having a spiritual exodus back to yourself,” says Sampa. “We often as black people in the diaspora talk about the physical return to our roots but not so often about the spiritual. Final form is meant to start that conversation. If I am truly to become the greatest version of myself, I am going to start where I grew up.”

Sampa released her album Birds and the Bee9, which was named Best Album of 2017 by the Australian  Music Prize.
