MWANAKE by @KIUMUSIC #JamOfTheWeek

The new trio girl group is out here harmonizing the thirst out of the city this week. This sophomere single release Mwanake by Kiu MusicSoundcloud

The Kiu Members Tracy, Rosa & Pauline have a mix of Afro-Pop and R&B feel to it. They bring with them a novelty hit that Nairobi seems to be yearning for and better yet giving and aesthetic pleasure to the stereotyping of this city being a musical wasteland.
“Every form of passion in the world starts from a drive.” the group says which is well agreed upon for this song Mwanake vocals tend to serve as yet another instrument in the mix, rather than the focal point.

Y'all should look out for the visuals and radio edit which is scheduled to drop this month. Well and of course hear it first on Nairobi Upsurge. 10441518_538757009569862_5660217144657246200_n.jpg
