Coco Em‘s latest release, “Kwa Raha Zangu,” emerges from a night out at Nairobi’s underground club Mist, drawing influence from Congolese Lingala music. The track, whose title means “For My Pleasure,” reflects on the transformative power of music, serving both as a personal anthem and an invocation to listeners to find their own paths to joy and liberation. The track’s core message, encapsulated in the hook “Jamani,” urges listeners to shed their burdens and embrace personal freedom.
Accompanying the original track is a remix by Emile Papandréou, which injects a robust techno vibe, pushing the boundaries into more experimental electronic realms. This version contrasts with the original’s introspective tone by emphasising a bolder, more aggressive sound.
Released by InFiné, “Kwa Raha Zangu” highlights Coco Em’s skill in merging traditional African sounds with futuristic electronic beats, establishing her as a trailblazing figure in Nairobi’s music scene.
