One of Kenya’s most beloved voices is stepping into the spotlight in a brand-new way; Maureen Kunga, one third of the award-winning group Elani, has officially launched her solo career, marking the beginning of an exciting new chapter filled with reinvention, creativity, and growth.

Her debut single, Majaliwa, is a powerful ballad dedicated to her mother whose love, wisdom, and encouragement shaped Maureen into the artist she is today.

“Majaliwa speaks of destiny and divine will, and is a heartfelt reminder of gratitude, love, and the guidance that carries us through life,” Kunga said.

Known for her powerful and soulful vocals, Maureen delivers an unforgettable performance on Majaliwa, as her thunderous vocals and emotionally charged lyrics tears through the listener.

The track which features vocals from her group, Elani, not only showcases her extraordinary voice but also her ability to connect deeply with listeners, drawing them into her personal story while offering something universal and moving.

It’s a cathartic release, a sound that feels both triumphant and deeply personal. The lyrics, too, are a powerful testament to resilience and rebirth, with her voice climbing to new heights, each note a declaration of her return.

The music video, now live on YouTube, brings this narrative to life; it beautifully weaves together Maureen’s bond with her mother and snapshots of her own journey through the years.

An intimate yet cinematic portrayal of love, family, and self-discovery.

‘Majaliwa’ marks the first step in Maureen’s solo evolution, with the promise of more music, more stories, and more moments that will showcase her artistry in a new light.

“My fans can expect a bold, contemporary sound paired with the authenticity and heart that have always defined me,” she said.

Majaliwa is now streaming on all digital platforms.

With this release, Maureen Kunga steps confidently into her own, promising a season of music and creativity that is as powerful as it is inspiring.
