Kenya’s music scene is buzzing with excitement as Wanavokali, the six-member Kenyan music group, releases their latest single, "Hela."

Departing from their usual Capella-Afropop sound, "Hela" introduces listeners to the infectious beats of Amapiano.

Comprised of Chep, Lena, Mella, Riki, Sam, and Ythera, Wanavokali has gained prominence for their catchy tunes and dynamic performances.

With "Hela," they venture into new territory, embracing a fresh sound while maintaining their signature harmonies and captivating vocals.

The song's lyrics delve into the universal theme of money, proclaiming it as the ultimate pursuit and the key to happiness. Wanavokali sings passionately about how money is the driving force behind every endeavor, the measure of success, and the solution to all woes.

In the chorus, they croon in unison, "Hela, hela, hela, oh! Money is the only thing that makes sense, in this world we roam." Their voices harmonize seamlessly, echoing the sentiment that amidst life's uncertainties, money remains the constant that everyone seeks.

The bridge of the song highlights the sleepless nights and endless struggles endured in the pursuit of wealth, resonating with listeners who understand the relentless pursuit of financial stability.

"Hela," which translates to "money" in Swahili, tackles a universal truth: the pursuit of financial security.  The six-member group sings about money being the root of all that matters, keeping people up at night more than anything else. 

This relatable theme, coupled with the infectious Amapiano beat, promises to be a hit. With "Hela," Wanavokali sparks a conversation about the pervasive influence of money in society, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts and minds of their fans.
