Mūringī, a Kikuyu contemporary mugithi princess has once again proved without reasonable doubt that she was born to be a singer, a great singer to be more precise.
Her latest single dubbed ‘Kundukania’ which is a Kikuyu word meaning “being confused” is warming hearts in this cold month of July. Her melodic, mellow, angelic, sweet voice can easily scare away the cold.
The ‘Kundukania’ song is a smooth urban Kikuyu mugithi track that marks Mūringī’s first official release since she got signed under Pine Creek Music.
The song is a warning to young girls, teen girls to be precise. Warning them about indulging in the party life and never listening to the advice their parents give them.
Plucking inspiration from his personal life, Mūringī sings about being a teenage mother after the father of her child dumped her and their child soon after finding out she was pregnant. The song is about her experiences as a teenage mother.
This song is so deep that you can’t help but love and appreciate her even more as a songwriter and an artiste.
‘Kundukania’ is a song I wrote out of my own experiences,” says Mūringī. “When I was a teenager, I indulged in quite a lot of partying and wild lifestyle, despite my parents warning me and talking me out of it.
I got pregnant and the man who was responsible went missing in action. All that left me very confused and this song is about my experiences as a teenage mother.
It is my message to the young girls to slow down and to those who have gotten pregnant to know that all is not lost, you can still bounce back after all that confusion.”
