G Nako ignites communal joy with new festive single “Kula Bia”

Iconic Bongo Flava pioneer and fashion mogul G Nako (born George Sixtus Mdemu) has officially released his latest solo single, “Kula Bia,” a high-octane celebration of life, food, and African community. Produced in collaboration with the acclaimed Kona Beats, the track is a masterclass in blending sharp hip-hop lyricism with the infectious, dance-ready rhythms that have defined G Nako’s legendary career.

“Kula Bia” arrives as an uptempo anthem designed to bridge the gap between the club and the community table. The song’s title and lyrical core center on the Swahili concept of sharing and consumption—not just of food and drink, but of shared experiences. G Nako utilizes his signature versatility to deliver catchy, melodic hooks paired with verses that celebrate cultural heritage through the lens of communal dining and street-side gatherings.

The record features a heavy emphasis on audience participation, particularly during a rhythmic bridge that encourages movement and dance. By focusing on the “joy of the now,” G Nako reinforces his position as one of East Africa’s most relatable storytellers, moving beyond the bravado of traditional rap to highlight the simple, festive moments that connect people.

As a founding member of the influential rap collective Weusi, G Nako has long been a pillar of the Tanzanian music industry. With “Kula Bia,” he continues his tradition of merging professional fashion sensibilities with street-level authenticity. The track’s release follows a string of successful collaborations and solo projects, further solidifying G Nako as a dominant force in the global Bongo Flava movement.

“Kula Bia” is now available for streaming and download on all major digital music platforms,
