Nitunogete: A powerful protest anthem echoes across Kenya

The new single by One Down and Tina Ardor is a genre-blending protest anthem born from a place of deep frustration and collective exhaustion.

Rooted in the Kikuyu language and carried by Ardor's compelling vocals, the track questions power structures, condemns deceit, and amplifies the voices of a people pushed to their limits.

Produced with gritty Afro-electronic textures and underscored by emotional urgency, Nitunogete landed with uncanny relevance on Wednesday, June 25, 2025 — a date now remembered for the people's movement in defence of democracy across Kenya.

This song is more than music. It's a reflection of the times — a mirror held up to a nation, a pulse check on the people's spirit.
