Speaking to reporters in anticipation of the album launch, Kunonga revealed that the album draws its title from one of its tracks, “Induna,” which portrays the journey of a young man envisioning his future as a chief, aspiring to bask in the privileges that accompany such a position.
“Induna, I wrote this song five years ago and developed the idea over the years,” he said. “Why this song is very special to me is, when I was developing the idea, my mother came through and she heard the song and she started to dance to it.
“I am singing about Induna, this young man looking into the future hoping that one day he will become a chief and en-joy the privileges that come with being a chief and comically saying “look I will have the privilege to choose all the beautiful women”. That is how ‘Induna’ came to be the name of the album.” Kunonga said the album and his music were inspired by his upbringing and rural background such as traditional ceremonies like biras.
