HARARE — Harare-based Afro-fusion artist Memory Chinamasa, better known as Yaya Saru, is continuing on her run of releases with her latest single release, ‘Junguluka’.

Coming off the back of her winter release, the sensual ‘3 Course Meal’, Junguluka pivots toward the existential fear of losing the one who holds your heart. Anchored by warm, atmospheric Afrosoul production and subtle traditional Zimbabwean influences, the arrangement allows Yaya Saru’s rich, emotive vocals to take center stage without distraction.

Written in four languages–English, Shona, Ndebele, and Nyanja– the track crafts a relatable and universal portrait of romantic desperation. 

The main hook—"Usaende moyo wangu, unojunguluka" ("Don’t leave, my heart will spin")—serves as the emotional emotional core of what is arguably Yaya Saru’s most stripped-back, intimate vocal performance to date.

"Junguluka" is now available across major digital streaming platforms and YouTube. Watch it here:
