Eeeeh... eeeh...
Ayee... ayee...
Mbira yayamba kulira...
Hosho yagunda...
Dedza... tiyeni!
Aeee... tigwi

Style of Music
Mbira dance anthem with driving hosho pulse and handclap syncopation; intro rides mbira and callouts, verse stays lean with chanting lines, pre-chorus lifts with tighter claps and rising crowd response, chorus hits in full singalong unison with stacked gang vocals and short mbira fills. Lead vocal is bright and forceful with shouted doubles on the hook, plus echo throws on the final word. Ear candy: hosho shakes into each turn, a quick mbira run before the chorus, handclap breaks that snap back in. Mix is earthy, lively, and front-row punchy.
