The much-needed encouragement during this world-wide crisis is here. Stephen Kasolo has just dropped his new single ‘Pito’.
The 8 minute long song bears resemblance to the Tanzanian gospel songs by artists such as Bahati Bukuku, Christina shusho, Christopher Mwahangila among others.
Perhaps this has rubbed off on him since he has done collabos with Rose Muhando and Martha Mwaipaja from Tanzania.
Besides his collabos, Kasolo has several singles to his name most of which are in his native Kikamba language as well as Swahili.
Some of his songs include: Kyaa Kya Ngai, Kitole. Nitilaa Kivutha, Mapenzi ya Kweli, Natiiwe Naku, Yamekuwa machungu and many more.
The Video
Its mostly a lyric video featuring a slide show of pictures that depict the challenging lifestyle of the common mwananchi in different places such as the villages, urban slums areas, and some marginalized communities up country.
The pictures are enough to compliment the song in a perfect manner.
Lyrics
This song come at a time of self reflection amid the deadly pandemic. Kasolo could not have dropped this jam at any other time.
Pito langu limefanya nikupende Zaidi bwana
Pito langu limenifunza mengi mungu
He states how trying times have taught him to love God and has taught him various life lessons. We all have our stories to tell.
Kila jambo hutendeka kwa kuleta wema mama
Jambo hili unalopitia litaleta wema kwako.
