NAXX BITOTA FEAT. ELOM 20CE | Single Nimekua

After the success of his first single Poso Oyo, Naxx Bitota returns with his new track Nimekua which will be released on May 12, 2022.

Preceding the release of his first album scheduled for June 2022, this single, mixing rhythms of the Congo and refreshing Afropop, speaks to us of experiences and stages of life that make us grow. 

Featuring Togolese rapper Elom 20ce, Naxx calls for relativizing the hardships we encounter because it is these that form the magical path of life.  “If I did it in the past I can do it again,” the two artists sing. With this experience forged by the difficulties encountered along the way, their militant and pan-Africanist values are expressed today without complex.  

Nimekua, which means I grew up in Swahili, delivers a universal message of resilience, inviting everyone to live by their values. The track and the video were recorded in Togo.
