Gatluak Mixtape - Nyaruach

Emmanuel Jal's sister, Nyaruach, is Gatwitch's newest rising star. The artist's persistence and hard work has been paying off, allowing her to take a "fast track" in her music. Just having started at the beginning of 2009, her career has taken great strides, with "Gatluak" album recorded, mastered and ready to hit the shelves.
To give the fans a teaser of her music and test the local market before the album launch in winter, Gatwitch Records released "Gatluak" single on iTunes in March, and later the "Gatluak Mixtape" in September 2009, the latter accompanied by the artist's first full-scale concert. The mixtape features two singles, "Gatluak" and "Buol", as well as the humorous "Gatluak remix".
