About this track
Tulepala is the sound of a village gathering at dusk.
The guitars bounce, the bass hums warm, and voices answer each other across the dance circle. It is a rhythm that carries everyday stories of family, work and celebration, turning them into movement. The call to dance rings out and no one stays still.
Creative process
We built this track around the heartbeat of Kalindula, blending playful guitar riffs with deep communal chants. The lyrics speak of home, shared struggles and the joy of music that binds a community. It is both memory and celebration in motion.
Will you join the circle when the drums begin?

Lyrics :
[Intro]
Tulekabila, tulekabila
Mu mushi wesu — tuyende!
[Verse 1]
Nabwela ku nyumba
Nensala mu mutwe
Nabako abaana, balefwaya ifyakulya
Nalomba ifyakulya mu mpanga
[Chorus]
Tulepala! Tulepala!
Kalindula mu mutima
Tulepala! Tulepala!
Ubushiku bwonse ku dansa
[Verse 2]
Mayo alelila, tata aleba
Bana baleya ku sukulu
Twafuma pa moba ne chibuku
Tuli beka, lelo tulefwile kuimba
[Bridge]
Gita isuma, ba gita balaisa
Tuli mu mushi — amapinda yalipo
Basungu balefwaya filimu
Ifwe tulefwaya ingoma
[Outro]
Kalindula, kalindula
Ngoma ya menso
Kalindula, kalindula
Mu mutima wesu chabe
