Vaughn Ahrens, the dynamic and genre-defying Namibian artist releases his much-anticipated EP, Sub Saharan, today, March 1, 2024. Known for his ever-evolving sound and ability to seamlessly blend diverse musical influences, Ahrens promises an immersive musical journey with this latest offering.

Sub Saharan is a sonic exploration inspired by Vaughn Ahrens' extensive travels throughout Sub-Saharan Africa. Drawing on the rich cultural tapestry of countries such as Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Tanzania, and Réunion, Ahrens has skillfully woven together a collection of tracks that serve as a musical passport, inviting listeners to join him on his road trips and experience the vibrant sounds he encountered.

Equipped with his launchpad, Ahrens programmed beats on the road, crafting lyrics inspired by the unique rhythms and languages he discovered. Upon returning to Namibia, he meticulously polished and re-recorded the tracks in a formal studio, resulting in a seamless blend of international influences that showcase his commitment to musical excellence.

Vaughn Ahrens' storytelling prowess shines through in each track, connecting with the audience on a deeply emotional level.

Accompanying the EP release is the premiere of the music video for the first single, 'Go Down', featuring fellow Namibian rapper Waters.
