He is also famed for his productions for Takura’s hit singles ‘Mari Hairambwe’ and ‘Kutaura Newe’.

The record released under Level 8 Records is a culmination of WaMambo’s signature tongue twisting bars, Takura’s melodic and catchy lyrics layered on Nashe’s rhythmic Afro-Trap.

We caught up with WaMambo about his lead single, and he had this to say, “I am an old school guy with a young spirit. I love life and live music. Everything has a theme in my world. The good times and the bad all have a rhythm to them. That’s why most of my songs are from life experience. It comes to me when I hear certain beats that make me nostalgic and I find myself in that moment again and so I write about it.”

On how the song was developed he said, “Nashe gave me three beats one day and I was so excited about them that I sent two of them to my boy Takura.

“He was so gassed that within a few hours he sent one back and he had laid a hook and verses. I was surprised by how quick this guy had just destroyed my beat before I could even do anything on it.

“I asked why and he just laughed and said make it work. So we worked on the arrangement and sent it back to Nashe who put some more magic on it and by the time it came back to me from the L8 engineer, it sounded epic.”
