Rising Afro-electronic star TAPIWA has unveiled his latest single, “HANA”, a genre-blending track that pulses with emotional urgency and rhythmic innovation. Created in collaboration with GhostZWE and Tahle We Dzinza, the single seamlessly fuses elements of Afro House, 3 STEP, and Dance to create a sonic experience that is both electrifying and deeply moving.
Marking a major milestone in TAPIWA’s career, “HANA” is also the inaugural release on MUSHA, his visionary new label imprint. Named after the Shona word for home, MUSHA is more than just a record label—it’s a cultural movement committed to nurturing the future of African electronic music through community, collaboration, and creative freedom.
“HANA” tells the story of a woman yearning for peace amid heartbreak. Sung in a powerful blend of English, Shona, and Ndebele, the song is anchored by Tahle We Dzinza’s evocative vocals, which glide over TAPIWA and GhostZWE’s intricate production. The signature log drum of the 3-step genre provides the track’s heartbeat, propelling it toward a euphoric crescendo. With lush melodic textures and Afro-electronic finesse, HANA is both a cathartic release and an invitation to move, destined for dancefloors and hearts across the globe.
Hailing from Harare, TAPIWA is a multi-instrumentalist, DJ, and producer whose genre-defying sound draws inspiration from the nostalgic energy of 90s rave and the dynamic rhythms of contemporary African music. Fusing Afro-pop, AEDM, house, and amapiano, his work is a celebration of cultural identity and sonic innovation. TAPIWA’s global reach continues to grow, with support from industry giants like Martin Garrix, Nitefreak, Bob Sinclar, and Kygo, and airplay on stations including BBC Radio 1Xtra, Triple J, 5FM, KISS FM, and NTS Radio.
With the release of HANA and the launch of MUSHA, TAPIWA sets the tone for a new era in African electronic music—one rooted in authenticity, pride, and the power of artistic freedom. MUSHA stands as a home for emerging creators to start, grow, and thrive—a space built by artists, for artists.
