In the pulsing heart of Uganda’s music scene, where rhythms throb as fiercely as Kampala’s nightlife, Kataleya & Kandle are once again proving why they reign as East Africa’s most dynamic duo.
As the year winds down, the trailblazing stars have dropped their latest banger, “Totta,” a sizzling collaboration with rising sensation Tracy Melon. More than just a song, this release feels like a victory lap for the artists who have dominated playlists and airwaves throughout 2025 with their infectious hooks and unapologetic swagger.
Written by multi–Zzina Award winners Dokta Brian and Nessim, “Totta” captures the raw, celebratory energy that has become synonymous with Kataleya & Kandle. Nessim’s sharp, punchy lyrical instincts blend seamlessly with Dokta Brian’s melodic finesse especially fresh off his earlier 2025 collaboration “Nkuwulira” with the duo. Tracy Melon, whose smooth vocals and charismatic presence have turned him into one of the year’s breakout stars, weaves effortlessly into the track, adding depth and harmony that elevate “Totta” into an undeniable end-of-year anthem.
The visualizer, directed and shot by the visionary team at Ray Pan Management, immerses viewers in a neon-drenched world of synchronized choreography, vibrant aesthetics, and that unmistakable Ugandan flair.
But let’s pause to give these queens their flowers.
2025 has been nothing short of a coronation for Kataleya & Kandle. Signed under Ray Pan Management, the duo has transformed from promising newcomers into certified hitmakers, breaking barriers in a male-dominated industry. This year alone, they’ve stacked charts with a string of smashes that showcase remarkable versatility from soul-stirring ballads to club-rattling anthems.
Their music resonates because it does more than entertain: it empowers women, celebrates love, challenges societal norms, and keeps the energy sky-high. Their meteoric rise mirrors Uganda’s booming music landscape, where female voices like theirs are finally receiving the spotlight they’ve long deserved.
Tracy Melon, meanwhile, brings his own fire to “Totta” after a standout year marked by hits like “Obuwoomi” and genre-bending collaborations. His chemistry with the duo is electric, serving as a reminder that collaborations like this don’t just happen, they ignite movements.
As 2025 fades into memory, “Totta” lands as the perfect mic drop. Stream it now on YouTube and all major platforms, hit replay, and raise a glass to the duo who made this year unforgettable.
Kataleya & Kandle aren’t just ending strong but they’re setting the stage for a monumental 2026.
Here’s to the hits, the harmony, and the history-makers.
