Jinku you savage you!!!! Tetu Shani, I'm going mad over the roof. Mad crazy joint

The sound on this part of the song is so nice!!

Damage Ft. Joseph Kiwango

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

Pre-Chorus

BOLD DECLARATION FOR A CHRISTIAN GIRL

We too want that Dreamy Kind of Love;)

On Fire - Stacey Kamatu

I wrote this tune in the middle of the year to my mom. Inspired by the being of two people. The having of two hearts. The being split down the middle.
A big thanks to @ThumbsMusic for mastering the track and Chris Clave on the guitar.

Both of Me

Yubu's Whisper was the first single off his debut album "On The Run". The track is an easy going lover's rock ballad, and truly represents Yubu’s soulful side and prowess in vocal performance. The lyrics and storyline of the song celebrate love, which knows no distance, time, race or condition.

On The Run

Yubu ft The Don - Whisper

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

Tetu Shani- AfricaSun Instrumental

Isolated vocals for AfricaSun. If you guys want to do a remix.

Tetu Shani- AfricaSun vocals

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.

Tetu Shani- Sema

A rhymix of an old school reggae song of the 80's.. And this is how I experiment :)..
