On May 12th, DJ and producer Chmba releases her breath-taking new single “Okongola,” lifted from her highly anticipated forthcoming EP “Okongola Caucus,” released June 16th.
The EP will showcase her impressive musical ability and beatmaking skills, exploring love in all forms, from romance to parental love, distance in love untangling, freedom, and barriers to love overlapping.
Okongola is romance all swagged out with a timeless, hypnotizing synth arp taking you on an electric journey yet still grounded in Afro-energy with bass drums teasing amapiano vibes.
Nigel on vocals takes you between worlds—maybe a night out in Malawi and perhaps space.
Chmba artfully blends two genres to make a unique melding of Afro-electronic and future indie energy, which come together to inspire an immediate sense of joy and nostalgia and a call to the dance floor.
