The album title comes from a childhood book about the son of a Chinese family that had a really long name. For all my life, I remembered the title being “Rikki Tikki Tembo”. But it wasn’t until I was cleaning out my closet, that I found the book, and saw the title was actually “Tikki Tikki Tembo”. And thus Mandela strikes again.
All the songs on the album deal with some theme of memory, and how they may remain, change, or fade over time. I’m really excited for you all to finally listen to it. And if you have the time, please listen from start to finish with the original track order. And hopefully around the last 2min, you’ll experience a similar nostalgic feeling like how I felt seeing that childhood book for the first time in 18 years.
All songs written, performed, and produced by Cameron Lew
