‘Love’s Ekongo’ is the latest single from Dawuna, a first-generation Ugandan-American artist. It’s a complex, experimental track that brings together a wide range of influences across the full spectrum of Diasporic Black Music. Glitchy electronics and DIY sound design keep the track connected while soulful vocals rooted in R&B find space amongst syncopated East African rhythms and the gentle, distant twinkle of kalimba. Dawuna’s lyrics spell out how the excitement and electricity of new love can almost feel dangerous. Dawuna’s new album, Love's Arp, is out on November 6th, 2026, via True Panther.
