Xouh Dreams Big in New Single "Nikipata Pesa"

Tanzania’s rising star, Xouh, is making waves with her latest release, “Nikipata Pesa,” a catchy, aspirational anthem that’s guaranteed to get you dreaming big and moving your feet.

Xouh, a rapidly emerging talent in the vibrant East African music scene, has dropped a track that perfectly encapsulates the hopes and dreams of a generation striving for success. “Nikipata Pesa,” which translates to “When I Get Money,” is a powerful declaration of ambition, set against an irresistible beat that blends modern Afrobeat with traditional Tanzanian influences.

The song is infectious from the first note. A driving rhythm underpins Xouh’s smooth, confident vocals as she lays out her plans for the future. The lyrics, delivered in a mix of Swahili and English, paint a vivid picture of upward mobility. “Siku sio nyingi nitapata pesa,” she sings, asserting that “It’s not long before I get money.” This line sets the tone for the entire song: an unwavering belief in her own potential and a determination to achieve her goals.

But Xouh isn’t just singing about generic success. She gets specific, and those specificities are what make the song so relatable. In the chorus, she lists her aspirations, and they’re extravagant yet fun: “Nikipata pesa nitanunua magari, nikipata pesa nitanunua bahari.” (“When I get money, I will buy cars, when I get money, I will buy the ocean.”) These lines, delivered with playful confidence, are a clever mix of realistic goals and humorous hyperbole. It’s the kind of line that makes you smile and think, “Yeah, me too!”

She calls back to the doubters in her past “wakati na hustle wewe si unanichukulia poa” (when I was hustling, you were taking me for granted). It is a common sentiment that Xouh has tapped into.

And then there’s the shout-out to Nigerian business magnate, “rafiki zangu kina Dangote,” referencing him as her new friendship group. This line further emphasizes the level of success she envisions for herself and adds a layer of cultural relevance that will resonate deeply with her Tanzanian audience.
