Singing in her native Kikuyu language, Teslah croons over her lover, asking him not to stay away and return home. “Ndugaikare” follows December 2024’s “Tujibambe” with Iyanii and Unspoken Salaton, the latter who produced the song.

 

The black-and-white music video is shot and directed by Chemy, a frequent collaborator with Black Market Records artists in Kenya.

 

“Ndugaikare” is a Kikuyu phrase that means “Don’t stay away.”
