TAWANDA CHARI
Tama Kasepa, known in the music circuit for his dual mastery as a drummer and vocalist, steps forward with a deeply personal single in “Yours Chete.” Released on September 8, 2025, the record marks another chapter in his evolution from session musician and collaborator to fully-fledged solo artist.
Where past works leaned into worship and collaborative storytelling, “Yours Chete” sharpens focus onto the intimate and vulnerable space of love.
At its core, the song is a simple yet keen profession: “ndiri wako, dai waita wangu” — “I am yours, I hope you also become mine.” That repetition carries weight, shaping the track as a vow of faithfulness, a pledge to belong to one person and no one else. In this, “Yours Chete” frames love not just as an emotion, but as a conscious commitment.
What stands out is Tama’s lyrical positioning. Beyond professing love, there’s an undercurrent of provision — the idea of wanting to give, to provide, to do everything possible for the partner if circumstances allow. That tension between desire and means injects realism, pulling the track away from mere romantic idealism into the realm of lived experience.
Coming from an artist who has spent over a decade bridging rhythm, melody, and message from his work with Freeman to his contributions on Fig Worship Culture’s live projects — “Yours Chete” feels like a crystallization of his solo vision. Tama is no longer just an instrumentalist behind the kit; here, he is a storyteller, confessor, and craftsman of emotion.
