Tanzanian Singeli powerhouse Meja Kunta steps into a more personal space with his new single “Nashukuru,” a heartfelt record built on gratitude and faith. The track moves away from the genre’s usual high-energy bounce.

Instead, “Nashukuru” finds the artist reflecting on pain, loss, and the strength that comes from hard times. The title translates to “I am thankful,” and that message runs through every line. Meja Kunta opens up about losing both parents while still counting his blessings.

The production keeps intense Singeli percussion, but the vocal melodies carry a softer, emotional weight. It is a balance that lets the story breathe without losing the genre’s signature drive. This release follows a busy stretch for the star, who dropped “Naoa” and “Jina” earlier in his current run of singles.

Born in Tandale, Dar es Salaam, Meja Kunta has built a name across East Africa. He has worked with artists like Lava Lava, and even Swizz Beatz once shared his energy online. With “Nashukuru,” he shows a vulnerable side while still delivering the raw Singeli sound fans expect.
