Malawian hip-hop artist Waxy Kay, whose real name is Wonderful Kapenga, has returned with the tribute “Mama,” celebrating mothers. The song lands as a tribute for Malawi’s Mother’s Day, but it also marks a shift for the artist. He has previously honoured late figures like Martse and his father, Bishop Kapenga. This time, however, he celebrates his own mother, Mary Kapenga, and mothers across the country while they are still here. The visuals add a personal touch, because they feature real photographs that fans submitted of their own mothers. That choice stretches the tribute well beyond one family. Waxy Kay has built his name in Malawian hip-hop and urban music, and “Mama” fits that lane while reaching for something warmer. The record carries a simple message about gratitude and presence. So it asks listeners to appreciate the women who shaped them without waiting. Have you played “Waxy Kay – Mama” yet? Share your thoughts in the comment section below.
