Nina Ogot - Ungwana

- Опубликовано: 4 апр 2025
- UNGWANA is Nina Ogot’s third single release which features in her latest album Ukumbu.KE scheduled to be released in May 2024.
It is Inspired by a Kenyan TV show hosted by the legendary Leonard Mbotela Mambo that rose to fame in the 1990s. The platform addressed social behavior while incorporating humour & sarcasm to entertain the audience. Nina Ogot therefore through this animation video, questions the new age culture of phone, internet and social media consumption. As the TV veteran Leonard Mbotela Mambo would often ask on his show in Kiswahili ‘Je, huu nu ungwana?’ (Is this right etiquette), the singer mimics the question in her song.

LYRICS (see English version below)
Mtandao leo umetuathiri
Hata siri zetu ngumu kusitiri
Inatubidi tuchukue tahadhari
Je, huu ni ungwana?
Wapendanao wazozana faraghani
Kesho yanatapakaa mitandaoni
Miye nawaulizeni jamani
Je, huu ni ungwana?
Wengine wanajifagilia hewani
Kutushawishi kwamba kwao mambo shwari
Ili hali hawana amani moyoni
Je, huu ni ungwana?
Ewe ndugu, ewe kaka
Je, huu ni ungwana?
Kina dada, kina mama
Je, huu ni ungwana?
Wakubwa wangu, wadogo wangu
Je, huu ni ungwana?
Nawauliza wenzangu, Je, huu ni ungwana?
Kutofautiana na kutukanana
Kulumbana na matope kupakiana
Tumekuwa kama watu wenye laana
Je, huu ni ungwana?
Wengine wanapitia shinikizo
Kuiga kama vile wengine walivyo
Mwishowe wajitia kwenye matatizo
Je, huu ni ungwana?
LYRICS (English)
Our relationship with social media has overwhelmed us
It is hard for us to keep our daily lives a secret
It is timely to take action as I ask
Is this the right etiquette?
Lovers air their dirty laundry publicly
Displaying their squabbles on social media
This is simply why we should ask
Is this correct?
Others raise themselves on imaginary pedestals
They outwardly showcase their ‘’wealth’’ online to convince the world of their status
Yet on the inside, they suffer from emotional poverty
Therefore, I ask you my brothers
And my sisters too
Is this how things should be?
To you my seniors and you my juniors
Is this how it should be?
We call each other out with insults
We gossip and degrade each other
We lack basic online etiquette
Is this how it should be?
Others secretly suffer from low self esteem
As they imitate others in order to uplift themselves
It is no wonder that they find themselves in emotional turmoil
Is this correct?
Therefore, I ask you my brothers
And my sisters too
Is this how things should be?
To you my seniors and you my juniors
Is this how it should be?
Remind I of the years when music used to be Music!!

This is so beautiful Nina. The message is a good reminder. The beginning is quite attractive. Your voice is lovely. The dancing makes me shake my head and brings joy to the song. The beat at 4:07💃💃 The children in the song are happy, they bring us back to reality.
