KIZABA | Single Kituamina

After the success of his first three singles announcing the release of his first album in the fall of 2022, Kizaba presents his new afrobeat track Kituamina, featuring Marley C, recorded between Montreal and Congo. 

As usual, the artist, author and composer, starts from a situation unfortunately very common in Africa and everywhere in the world to make a universal message.

Kituamina is the story of an alcoholic man who does not take care of his wife and children, and whose money is spent on alcohol and partying. But Kituamina, which means like this, like that in Lingala, is also a message of prevention to alcohol and its consequences. Indeed, everyone can change and can leave an addiction. If today is like this, tomorrow can be different. The clip was shot in Kinshasa in the underprivileged neighborhood of Matongué where the legendary Papa Wemba grew up.
