Munise Munise by Amayenge is a kalindula masterpiece that stands tall in the hall of fame of Zambian music. If you’ve never heard Amayenge, imagine a musical locomotive driven by raw traditional energy, unstoppable rhythms, and storytelling so rich, it paints entire villages in sound.

This track, one of their best, is a deep dive into themes of family, tradition, and societal struggles—all delivered in their signature style, which fuses the vibes of all 73 Zambian tribes into a single rhythmic heartbeat.

The song’s chorus, “Munise Munise niyosokela boma”, translates to “Take me, take me, I go and cook for my mother.” It speaks of duty, respect, and the longing for home. The verses touch on dowry, family bonds, and even a subtle jab at community ‘witches’ who cause mischief but later complain.

With Chris Chali’s legacy still burning bright and Fraser Chilembo’s leadership, Amayenge remains Zambia’s most versatile band, spreading kalindula magic across Africa and the world. If you’ve never danced in a two-by-two circle, this song might just be the one to get you spinning!
