SaRahas bidrag ”Kizunguzungu” i Melodifestivalen 2016 har tydliga östafrikanska influenser. Såväl kläder, musik och framträdande har inspirerats av Tanzania – landet där hon växt upp och redan etablerat en karriär som artist.
Låten är delvis på swahili och delvis på engelska. I sticket använder hon en traditionell Tanzanisk barnramsa.
– Sticket är en traditionell barnvisa från Tanzania. Det är en slinga som ofta används under liveframträdanden i Tanzania. Alla känner igen den och den signalerar att det är dags att dansa, säger hon till
Texten är en kaxig kärlekslåt som handlar om förälskelse, men sticket handlar däremot om badande ankor.
– Visan betyder ’de små små ankorna badar’ och sjungs om och om igen. Den har ingen bokstavlig betydelse i låten, men den används ofta i Tanzanisk musik och jag ville använda den som en symbol för min kultur.
Texten: Kizunguzungu
You run away you run away
whenever I get close
You run away you run away
what are you running for
Baby why do you go
