“NaharY”

“I am NaharY, a Finnish and Angola-born rapper. My collaboration with Viv Magia began with my “Takas mestoil” -single, which is a song in which I talk about being Angolese representing Finland, and how my Angolese roots affect my life. This mural represents things I love about Finland, such as nature, lakes, and peace. In addition, it features important elements from Angolese culture, such as the traditional samacaca fabric and O Pensador statue, which represents deep wisdom and reminisces the sufferings of the people.” – NaharY

“I admire the way NaharY expresses himself and his experiences through art and brings out intriguing thoughts and points of view about life. By acknowledging the points NaharY brings out, people could understand each other better.” – Viv Magia
