Congolese-Canadian artist Naxx Bitota unveils “Furah Yetu,” a vibrant Swahili-language single. Infused with rich African rhythms and her signature fusion of Afropop and Mutuashi, the track is an uplifting celebration of togetherness, personal freedom, and cultural pride.
Born in the Democratic Republic of Congo and now based in Quebec, Naxx Bitota has spent years shaping a unique musical identity that bridges continents. From early beginnings in classical and gospel choirs to performing across the globe, her music radiates authenticity, energy, and intention.
“Furah Yetu” (translated as Our Joy) is a perfect reflection of Bitota’s journey and spirit. Her vocals soar over rhythmic instrumentation that pulls listeners into a dance of optimism and shared humanity. The track is as catchy as it is meaningful—rooted in tradition yet undeniably contemporary.
