On the road with TKB: ‘Kositaura’ maps the struggles behind the sound

In a music industry often saturated with feel-good anthems and club bangers, Namibian Afropop duo TKB is taking a more introspective turn with their latest single ‘Kositaura’ featuring M-Gee. The track, steeped in reflection and raw storytelling, is a testament to the group’s ability to blend regional authenticity with universal themes of struggle, hope, and resilience.The title ‘Kositaura’ is a poignant reference drawn from the Rukwangali word ‘sitaura’, meaning ‘road.’ For TKB, it’s not just a metaphor—it’s a lived reality.“We’re talking about a journey,” the duo explained in a recent conversation with Namibian Sun. “Coming from the city, where we were chasing a better life, but things didn’t go as planned. The difficulties continue on the road—we’re dealing with no transport fare and the shame of returning home empty-handed.”It’s a song that resonates far beyond borders, tapping into the shared experiences of young people facing economic hardship and shattered dreams in urban centres across the continent.The music video for Kositaura, which was set for release on Thursday, 3 July, has already generated significant buzz. TKB has been teasing visuals on social media, intentionally stoking anticipation. “We’ve been building excitement for marketing purposes,” they noted. “It’s all part of the rollout.”This marks the second collaboration between TKB and M-Gee in 2025, a partnership that continues to yield emotionally honest and melodically rich music. Their creative chemistry, according to the duo, stems from a shared sense of purpose and authenticity.“M-Gee and ourselves have a good working relationship,” they said. “We’re all classic music makers who speak from the heart. We’ve realised we’re some of the only artists in the region capable of projecting a bigger voice—so why not collaborate?”As for what’s next, TKB remains intentionally vague but undeniably ambitious.“Just watch the space,” they hinted. “2025 is going to be a movie.”
