Malawian artist Chmba returns with 'Uchi', a new collaboration with fellow creative Tuno Mw that captures a new chapter in her evolving artistic journey.
Built around themes of warmth, joy and connection, 'Uchi' reflects Chmba's ability to merge Afro-rooted musical influences with forward-thinking electronic production. The release continues her exploration of rhythm, identity and emotional storytelling, creating a sound that feels deeply connected to her heritage while remaining firmly focused on the modern dancefloor.
For Chmba, music acts as a language for expressing emotion and connection. Drawing inspiration from her Malawian roots and the wider pan-African musical landscape, she has developed a distinctive sound that balances rich textures, hypnotic grooves and a strong sense of cultural identity.
Beyond music, Chmba's creative work extends into community-focused initiatives. As the founder of Tiwale, she supports women and gender minorities through arts and education, reflecting a wider commitment to creativity, inclusion and positive change.
On 'Uchi', her collaboration with Tuno Mw brings together two Malawian voices. The track opens with warm chord progressions, subtle synth textures and a restrained rhythmic foundation before gradually expanding through layered melodies and expressive vocal performances.
Tuno Mw's soulful vocal delivery adds emotional depth to the production, with themes of joyful beginnings, hope and abundance woven throughout the arrangement. The result is a track that balances dancefloor movement with a more reflective sense of storytelling.
Continuing the evolution of her Afro-rooted sound, 'Uchi' represents another step forward for Chmba as she embraces both tradition and innovation. Through its combination of cultural influence, detailed production and uplifting energy, the release showcases an artist continuing to build a unique creative world on her own terms.
