In a charming and infectious combination of English and Luo (a Kenyan dialect) “Aparo” roughly translates to “thinking” or “pondering” in the face of immense doubt. Kato Change’s incredible dexterity as his fingers dance across the fretboard flirts with flavourful jazz-infused Bossa Nova, complementary of Lisa Oduor-Noah’s vocal depth.

Sunny Day

Two lovers carried by different currents, drift into each other and decide to never drift apart again. 

Lyrics:

Intro:
I had a dream about you babe
We floated through clouds of misty grey
There was a sea of green below,
are we drifters or shall we call this place home?

Verse 1:
Since we met, you've been the realest so refreshing
I feel like I have known you for so long
I can be myself when I'm with you

Rest assured, the feelings mutual I can't ignore
That I'm a better person when I'm with you
Can't imagine myself with someone else

Pre-Chorus:
Come on babygirl let's lose this crowd I've made reservations for two
Tonight's a Friday it's supposed to be boy's night out 
but I think I'd rather kick it with you

Come on babyboy make your move I surrender myself to you
There's chemistry between us I can't explain
My reaction is to stick with you
I think that imma stick with you

Chorus:
I've been waiting for you to come clean 
About your love for me
I love you too!

Verse 2:
You give me butterflies
Sweaty palms when I'm by your side
Make me feel like I've never loved before
My search has come to an end
Your my bestfriend

When we dance
I close my eyes and I breathe you in
Just wanna say that if this is just a dream
Please don't wake me up
Don't wake me up

Prechorus:
Come on babygirl let's lose this crowd..

Chorus:
I've been waiting for you to come clean...

Outro:
I had a dream about you babe..

Chemistry

Tetu Shani x Mayonde- Chemistry (Prod. By Jinku)

Hope you enjoy this project. The goal was to be as open and vulnerable as possible, to write from the heart and to have fun making music.

You can't force Chemistry to exist where it doesn't just like you cant deny where it exists.

Xoxo

Chemistry (Dj Fita Remix)

Tetu Shani X Mayonde - Chemistry (Dj Fita Remix)

Can love survive betrayal? Samalina is the story of a village girl who betrays her lover for the bright lights and temptations of the city. 

Lyrics:
Pre-Chorus
Who are these unfamiliar faces?
We had love, we had laughter
now it's gone (repeat).

Verse one:
Samalina ever since 
you came from the city I've seen
you are very concerned with other things
behind the curtains of your eyes 
I see the silhouettes of liars haunting me

Samalina ever since you came from the city I've seen
you are very concerned with other things
you have forgotten the ancient word
don't pick up coal or you'll get burned
keep the fire in the fireplace


Pre-Chorus

Chorus:
Samalina ekokoli
Samalina ekokoli
Samalina ekokoli
Samalina (repeat)

What will I do? What will I do? I'll find another one just like you (repeat)

Verse two:
Samalina ever since
you came from the city I've seen 
you don't call, you don't contact me
yet by the sweat of my brow
by my panga and my plow
I bought you a ticket to Nairobi

Samalina ever since 
you came from the city I've seen
you don't call, you don't contact me
I thought your love was heaven sent
so I was hell-bent on being your savior

Distortion

This time I'm sharing something quite different from what my fans are used to. This is a light hearted and catchy afro pop song about resilience and celebration. I wanted to create something distinctly Kenyan while borrowing from elements of dancehall and Ed Sheeran's Shape of You.

Tetu Shani x MTM- Drinks on Me

Sema is a seductive and playful afrobeats fusion track co- produced by M^3. It follows closely on the heels of Tetu's standout hit AfricaSun and shows his versatility as a pop songwriter, composer and arranger.

The song attempts to capture that moment when you feel chemistry with someone you just met at a party and have to overcome your nervousness and approach them.
