HAKUNA KULALA is Nyege Nyege's sub-label, founded a year and half after the launch of NNT in July 2018 by Arlen Dilsizian, Derek Debru and Rey Sapienz. Initially focusing more on club explorations from the East African and Congolese Electronic Underground the label has  since expanded to showcase new emerging MC talent from across the continent, focused on emerging South African producers and started to release artists from further afield whose sound is in conversation with their own, like Japans T5UMUT5UMU, China's 33EMYBW, Mexico's Tony Gallardo and Moldovia's Wulffluw XCIV.

Hakuna Kulala has helped launch the career of several important African experimental club producers including Kenya's Slikback, Uganda's Don Zilla, Congo DRC's Rey Sapienz, and South Africa's Menzi, as well as rappers like MC Yallah and Eckobazz. 

Nyege Nyege focuses on exploring new avenues to champion an emerging generation of artists based in Kampala, Uganda that promotes outsider music by African artists. It was founded in 2015 by University lecturers Arlen Dilsizian and Derek Debru. In addition to organizing ongoing parties and an artist residency, the collective runs two record labels and a multi-day annual festival. Its name refers to a Luganda word describing "a sudden, uncontrollable urge to dance."
 

Artists affiliated with Nyege Nyege have toured throughout Europe, US and Asia, now performing over 250 shows annually. We are very honored to present their unique sounds to Taiwan.
