Sisters Keepers

Among others for the members of the original Sisters Keepers were Nadja Benaissa, Ayọ, Kaye, Nicole Hadfield (Groove Guerrilla [de]), and Tamika, along with Tesiree, Lisa, Mamadee, Pat and Meli (Skills en Masse, Ischen Impossible) with Onejiru (Pielina Schindler).

"Liebe Und Verstand" was their largest hit on chart in Germany, Switzerland and Austria between December 2001 to February 2002, as many African artists joined to form a musical statement.

The Sisters[2] started with Onejiru, Mamadee, Meli, Namusoke, Tamika and Nicole Hadfield (Groove Guerilla) and Lisa Cash coming in and out, and they represented North Rhine-Westphalia at the Bundesvision Song Contest 2008 to claim he fourteenth place with "Unite".

[3] Since 2010, Onejiru, Meli and Nicole Hadfield have been the core of the group with Mamadee, Tamika and Namusoke extending the act, and altogether they were black German female singers involved and supporting social and educational causes at schools.

Within it, there is a strong desire to envisage collectivity beyond peoplehood and the simultaneous failure to do so in Afro-German pop music and diaspora discourse underlines the nagging pervasiveness of this category and pressing need for alternatives.
