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. • More information about Nina Ogot, her latest projects releases: https://ninaogot.com • Executive producer: Norbert Nettekoven © Allox Entertainment • Produced by Nina Ogot • Music, song arrangement and lead vocals by Nina Ogot • Lyrics by Nina Ogot Juma Tutu • Horn arrangements by Christian Spors • Recorded by Nick Loder, AMP Studios Africa, Nairobi-Kenya • Horn section recorded by Arne Neurand, Horus Sound Studio, Hannover-Germany • Mixed mastered by Tobias Thiele, Toni Wave, Köln-Germany • Animation video concept story line by Nina Ogot • Animation, graphics design by Kenneth Omollo • MUSICIANS • Rhythm guitar: Nina Ogot • Lead guitar: Mabiza Mabele • Bass: Mike Munene • Trumpet: Christian Spors • Saxophone: Laurenz Cedric Wenk • Trombone: Jan Urnau • Drums: Biron Orore • Percussions: Erico Kyallo • 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?
