“Mwaki,” the urgent progressive house track from Brazilian producer Zerb and Kenyan singer Sofiya Nzau, has been a dance world sensation since its release last November. The track hit No. 1 on Spotify’s Global Viral Chart, with more than 100,000 videos created by fans on social media, and is currently at No. 3 on the global Shazam chart.
The track — sung in the tribal Kenyan language of Kikuyu — also gained momentum with recent remixes by Major Lazer and Tiësto, with edits from Franky Wah, Major League DJz, Tyler ICU, and Chris Avantgarde forthcoming. The song’s title translates to “fire.”
