Mbingu by Kiruu
TRACK BIO:
After a five-year hiatus, Irish-and-East-Africa-raised artist Kiruu is delighted to announce the release of his new single "Mbingu" on 21/06/2024. "Mbingu", meaning "heaven" in Swahili, is a groovy Afro-pop and world music number that pays homage to the splendour of mother nature, and calls for its protection.
Produced by Cork-based Cian Sweeney, "Mbingu" weaves together a tapestry of musical influences and languages. Sung in English, Spanish, and Swahili, the song is driven by a captivating Lingala-style guitar riff, and features spoken messages about mother nature from around the world. “Mbingu” culminates in a cacophony of voices singing harmonies together.
Kiruu says: "Mbingu is a tribute to the beauty of our planet and its natural and cultural diversity. I hope it inspires listeners to appreciate and protect the natural world, and to listen to each other and to the wisdom already there within our ancient cultures"

LYRICS:
Mbingu haiko juu haiko kwenye mawingu
Its in the air we pull and breath
Bursts through the roots of ancient trees
Curves on the oceans swelling wave
Sweeps out along the rolling plains
Creeps through the patient glacial surge
Piles on the sloping mountain verge
Soaked in the rays of sunrise burn
Wedged into paw print owl eye and fern
Tunaijenga duniani moyoni rohoni
Tunaijenga msituni ziwani baharini
Tunaijenga milimani porini vijijini
Naamini tutaweza pamoja naamini tutaweza kwa umoja
Mazingira yako je, tumeyaharibu
Tufanye ninı we? Tuyarekebishe, tuyarekebishe.
No tenemos otro lugar donde irnos
Lo que nos rodea es el cielo, el paraíso
