El Mukuka ft. James Sakala – “Heatwave (Radio Edit)”
El Mukuka returns with spanking new music tagged “Heatwave (Radio Edit)” feturing James Sakala.
“Heatwave’ is a high energy, feel-good summer song that fuses Kalindula music with Western piano-house.
The track features the multiple-award winning Kalindula artist James Sakala who has worked with numerous top African musicians including the late Zimbabwean superstar Oliver Mtukudzi. El Mukuka and James Sakala wrote ‘Heatwave’ alongside American singer-songwriter Bailey Hyneman.
Mukuka delves further into the song, saying “’Heatwave’ to me is a song about letting your hair down and having an amazing summer night filled with romance, dancing and bliss. In the 27 years I’ve been on this earth, I can’t think of a time when uplifting music was needed more than it is right now. I truly hope this song succeeds in shining a little light
on as many people as it can during these dire times.”
