Luyo returns with a radiant gem in Mware, teaming up with Kenyan vocal powerhouse Sofiya Nzau, whose soaring performance in Kikuyu—her native Bantu language—adds a rich layer of authenticity and emotional depth. Known for her breakout hit Mwaki, Nzau brings a delicate balance of strength and vulnerability, riding the rhythm with poise and spirit.



Musically, Mware is a masterclass in Afro fusion. Luyo blends Afro house pulse with laidback Afrobeat sensibilities, crafting a groove that's both refined and infectious. Bright guitars dance with shimmering synths, lush piano chords provide melodic warmth, and crisp percussion keeps the heartbeat steady. The arrangement leans toward elegance, with a polished radio-friendly touch that doesn't compromise its organic roots.



It's a track that feels equally at home on a sunset terrace or in daytime rotation—uplifting, soulful, and undeniably global. Luyo and Nzau have tapped into something timeless with Mware: a celebration of cultural pride wrapped in a rhythm the world can move to.
