Zani Lady C reclaims her song: Releases ‘Charles Yimirira Awo’ video

Zani Lady C

After claiming it back, singer Zani Lady C has released the highly anticipated video for “Charles Yimirira Awo.”

In a compelling turn of events, singer Zani Lady C, currently based in the US, has reasserted her ownership of the beloved track “Charles Yimirira Awo,” which recently took social media by storm. The song, originally recorded over two decades ago, resurfaced as a viral sensation on TikTok, captivating audiences with its infectious rhythm and catchy lyrics. However, the recent popularity also led to some confusion over its ownership, prompting Zani to take action and reclaim her artistic legacy.

The trend exploded on TikTok, with users across the platform creating their own videos to the sound, celebrating the vibrant beats and memorable hooks. Among those who gained significant attention was Tony Kalanzi, an instrumental artist who unknowingly drew attention to the song while performing a version of it. As Kalanzi’s rendition gained traction, many praised his talent, unaware that the original song belonged to Zani Lady C.

Zani’s frustration mounted as she watched the situation unfold. “I recorded this song in 1999 at Kasiwukira Studio, a significant milestone in my early career,” Zani explained in a recent interview. “Back then, as a young artist, I didn’t fully appreciate the song’s potential. I was eager to explore various musical styles and ended up moving on without giving it the attention it deserved.”

Fast forward 21 years, and Zani found herself astonished to discover that the song she had long set aside was being celebrated and trending in a new generation. Recognizing the importance of reclaiming her narrative, she decided to re-record the audio and release a new music video, which debuted earlier today.

The freshly released video features a dynamic blend of visuals shot in both the US and Uganda, showcasing Zani’s journey as an artist. The production captures the energy of contemporary dance, featuring collaborations with talented dancers and content creators who are influential on platforms like TikTok and YouTube. These performers add a modern twist to Zani’s classic sound, bridging generational gaps and introducing her music to a new audience.

In a behind-the-scenes glimpse, Zani shared her excitement about the project: “This video is not just about reclaiming a song; it’s about celebrating my journey, the culture of my roots, and the evolution of music in Uganda. I want to show that good music transcends time and resonates with all generations.”

As the video gains momentum online, fans and newcomers alike are rediscovering Zani Lady C’s artistry. The renewed interest is a testament to her enduring impact on the Ugandan music scene, where she has long been regarded as a pioneer for female artists.

Moreover, Zani’s story is an inspiration to many emerging artists facing similar challenges in the industry. Her determination to reclaim her work highlights the importance of recognizing and valuing one’s artistic contributions, especially in an age dominated by social media and rapid trends.

With “Charles Yimirira Awo,” Zani Lady C is not only re-establishing her place in the music industry but also inviting audiences to join her in celebrating a legacy that has shaped the Ugandan cultural landscape. As listeners embrace her renewed sound, Zani is poised to make her mark once again, demonstrating that true artistry knows no expiration.

Fans can now enjoy “Charles Yimirira Awo” in its revitalized form, as Zani Lady C embarks on a new chapter in her illustrious career, ready to connect with audiences old and new.
