about

Topesa Esengo Na Motema (Let Us Give Joy To The Heart) is the lead single from the forthcoming album Esengo), which means Joy in Lingala.

Sung by lead vocalist Juanita Euka, the song is an intoxicating blend of afrobeat, funk and rumba (as channeled from Juanita Euka's heritage, being the niece of the famous Congolese musician, best known simply as Franco). Topesa Esengo Na Motema is upbeat and powerful, yet light, playful and joyfully digestible, guaranteed to light a fire under you and get you off your seat!

Produced by Sonny Johns (Tony Allen and Hugh Masekela, Ali Farka Toure) the track finds the band in lighter mood, celebrating the joy of living, reconnecting and getting back on the road once more.

The single is accompanied by a remix from producer and DJ Bosq that gives the song a unique afro-latin disco twist.
