Mariam Ndagire, the longest-performing female artiste on the local pop scene, will unveil her ninth album, Maama, on January 27 at the Serena Hotel. Ndagire will perform alongside Bobi Wine, the Obsessions, Bella, Paul Kafeero and the Trends Band as she marks 10 years as a singer.
If you thought Ndagire only sung along to smooth Afro-pop vibes, you are in for a surprise. On Maama, Ndagire ventures into dancehall music! Her songs are all groovy and exciting.
Besides, if you have always known Ndagire for songs that taunt at a co-wife, forget it! The new album is hooked on celebrating love, life, kids, women’s emancipation and the good times.
On the title track, Ndagire praises her mum and vows to provide for her. Maama is done to easy-going Afro-pop.
Another hit is Kankwagale. In the song, Ndagire praises a lover and begs him to always keep with her. Though intimate, the song has dramatic bass beats.
Nzuukuka is another groovy track off Ndagire’s new album. Here she tells a spouse that she wakes up in the night just to check that he is still beside her. But the charm of the song is in how Ndagire takes on the heavy dancehall beat. The upbeat chorus adds even more gusto to the track.
Ndagire has also brought back the 1970s Rumba. Her Bimuli Bya Rosa could pass for a 1970’s number. In the song, Ndagire discourses on typical introduction day fantasies.
Maama also includes a track that urges people to help needy children.
Singer Bella delivers some rap on the song. The album also has a track congratulating women upon their emancipation. To the good times, there is Katukyakale and Best Wangu.
Definitely, Mariam’s decade is a cause for all of us to celebrate. No more of those anguished songs against a co-wife. Put aside that same old smooth Afro-pop; get ready for a groovier party vibe.
