SA: Kekelingo shares new single Jeteme

‘Jeteme’ is the second single off KekeLingo’s debut EP Pula, which is set to drop on 25 August. The composition finds its creative roots in Salif Keita’s ‘N B'l Fe’, weaving together the talents of the three artists.

This dance-centric masterpiece harmoniously merges Kekelingo’s unique linguistic expression with elements drawn from Afro-house and Afro-tech genres. The elaborate rhythmic layers and the irresistible pull of the track’s infectious beats are certain to set dancefloors ablaze.

“‘Jeteme’ stands as my homage to the stunning African continent – a melodic tribute that resonates with affection and unity among the people of Africa,” Kekelingo said. “This composition articulates the essence of love and the formidable strength that emerges when individuals from Africa unite. It's an amorous melody expressed through the rhythmic language of Afro-tech dance, dedicated to the heart and soul of Africa.”

Zakes Bantwini said: “I’ve always been big on collaboration. There are few things I love more than working with talented African artists and creating something special out of nothing. And that’s exactly what we did here – we made a great African song with a global outlook. Working with Keke and Mpho on this was an absolute pleasure and I hope the song resonates with the people on a deep level.”

With its blend of energetic melodies and irresistible hooks, ‘Jeteme’ is designed to take the Afro-house and Afro-tech world by storm.

Mpho.Wav said: “For me this record is a fusion of soul and dance embodied by a variety of African sounds. It is an expression of love and groove through sonics. From the thumping beats to the heartfelt synth sounds and the sincere vocals, it is set to represent the true beat of Africa.”
