Rwandan Afrobeats artist Yee Fanta links up with fellow Rwandan singer Guerishom on “Inzoga (High),” a fresh collaboration confirmed in the latest East African music releases.
“Inzoga” means “alcohol” or “drink” in Kinyarwanda – and the “(High)” subtitle tells you exactly where the record lives. But Yee Fanta does not treat the concept as an excuse for a generic party track. The word carries cultural specificity that grounds the record in a very particular Rwandan social world – the kind of celebration, loosening up, and letting go that happens in local settings most music never bothers to acknowledge.
Guerishom already released his own solo “Inzoga” in 2025 – so stepping into this collaboration is not a cold introduction to the concept. He arrives with existing ownership of the word’s energy within the Rwandan music space. That familiarity with the theme gives his contribution on this version a natural confidence. Both artists clearly move in overlapping creative circles, and that pre-existing chemistry shows in how easily the record flows between them.
The Afrobeats framework keeps the production contemporary and accessible without stripping away the Rwandan cultural identity running through the writing. So “Inzoga (High)” works across different East and Central African audiences while still feeling rooted in something specific rather than generic.
For listeners tracking Rwanda’s growing Afrobeats scene beyond the established names like Element EleéeH and Bruce Melodie, Yee Fanta and Guerishom are exactly the kind of emerging voices worth discovering now.
