Daway ft Stamina Shorwebwenzi – Watafutaji
Watafutaji is a reflective Bongo Flava song that talks about how dreams are pursued through the dimensions and structures of ambition, societal pressures, and modernity. The artists declare themselves as “watafutaji” (people who seek better lifestyles for themselves) and as such have a purpose. Stamina Shorwebwenzi adds more depth to this idea by stating that although many of their wealthy relatives have certain false notions, as well as many false pretensions regarding money, they actually receive support and assistance from people who were once nothing more than “friends” who turned out to be valuable allies.
