In the wake of a historic national awakening, Nitunogete (translated “We Are Tired”) emerges as a thunderous call for justice, accountability, and truth.
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 made evident by emotional urgency, Nītūnogete lands with uncanny relevance on Friday, June 25, 2025 a date now remembered for the people’s movement in defence of democracy across Kenya.
Tina is a singer, songwriter, DJ and A&R of Migati Music based in Nairobi, Kenya. Music has always been an integral part of her life since childhood and performance through song and dance an innate gift.
She draws great inspiration in her creativity from the linguistic diversity of different cultural groups. Thus, she is known for her enthusiastic capability to incorporate an array of local dialects in her music.
With this, she aims to transcend different African narratives to the world in an authentic yet modern fusion of Afro-rhythmic melodies and beats.
On the other hand, OneDown is a Kenyan producer and DJ focusing on a combination of deep and Afro House sounds. He is also the label manager at adumapresents
