- “META” is more than just a song—it’s a movement celebrating the richness of African music and culture.
Kenyan songstress, Sofiya Nzau, who broke into the international spotlight with her hit single “Mwaki” with ZERB is not slowing down anytime. She’s back on top with a continental banger “META” released alongside her global counterparts Fireboy DML (Nigeria) and Grammy-award winner Nomcebo Zikode (South Africa) – the powerful voice behind the global hit “Jerusalema”.
This release introduces audiences to 3 Step, the heartbeat of a new genre set to take Africa and the world by storm. Originating in South Africa and now reaching global ears through this international collaboration, 3 Step is an irresistible fusion—both familiar and refreshingly bold. More than just music, it’s a movement rooted in Africa’s rich musical traditions and designed for a global audience. With “META” as its anthem, 3 Step is poised to ignite a rhythm revolution, bridging cultures and uniting people through a shared, unforgettable beat.
Ahead of the release Sofiya shared, “Working with Fireboy and Nomcebo has been an incredible experience”. ‘META’ is an anthem of African unity in celebrating our diverse cultures. For me it’s another opportunity to showcase the richness of our sound and spirit and another step towards taking Kenyan music to the global stage.”
This groundbreaking collaboration combines diverse musical styles and languages from Kenya, South Africa and Nigeria–creating a fresh sound that embodies the spirit of unity and celebration across the continent. The title “META” draws inspiration from the concept of ‘three’—a number that symbolizes harmony, balance and connection in various contexts. In this case it represents the convergence of cultures while blending traditional African musical elements with contemporary production techniques. Just as Amapiano transformed the global music landscape, 3 Step is ready to leave its mark, proving that the power of music knows no borders. Deeply rooted in cultural heritage, this innovative style aims to reshape the African music scene, inviting listeners to connect through the unifying power of rhythm.
Join Sofiya Nzau, Fireboy DML, and Nomcebo Zikode on this vibrant journey, as the powerful sounds of “META” echo across the continent and beyond. Fans can now participate in the #METAChallenge, a dance challenge on social media platforms that invites users to express themselves through movement, embodying the spirit of unity and joy that “META” represents.
