Mwanzele In the land of vibrant sun and swirling breeze, Where Kenya's heart beats in melodies, A tale of music, rich and grand, Unfolds along the coastal sand. Mwanzele, they call it, with a lively sway, Born from Mijikenda's joyful play, Amidst weddings, festivals, and merry cheers, It dances through the passing years. Taarab's whispers, Chakacha's embrace, Bango's rhythm, interlace, Instruments sing, drums and bells, Tales of joy that the heart tells. Call and response, voices unite, Underneath the day's warm light, As Swahili words in coastal tongue, Tell of love, of laughter sung. Though beyond Kenya's gentle shore, Mwanzele's rhythm asks for more, In Albert Shehi's tunes, Kilimanjaro's band, The spirit of Mwanzele, roams the land. So let it dance, let it sing, In every heart, let it ring, For Nzele, Mwanzele, by any name, A treasure of culture, a vibrant flame.
