Shaka Buku’s eclectic musical style is directly influenced by the simplicity and social consciousness of Bob Marley, the funk and groove of Stevie Wonder and the power and edge of Led Zeppelin. This power, edge and funk can be heard on tracks like "I’m Alive", influenced by Shaka Buku’s love for the outdoors, dancing, and athletics. The deepest message however, is about love, spirituality and "human revolution" or inner transformation.
