Mhondoro is the new single from Shingai, released 30 April 2026 ahead of the Flow album - coming later this year.

‘Mhondoro’ is a warning to any more attempts to pollute our sacred waters - nationally and internationally.”, says Shingai. 

The single, inspired by the Zimbabwean song “Dzinomwa Muna Save”, will be accompanied by a remix EP, set to be released in June featuring four remixes created by MayOnMars / Kuda / MadeinZwe, R3igndrops, Ugandan DJ known for her sets that channel the darker edges of afro house, afro tech, 3-step, and gqom, Tapiwa, Afro-electronic music producer, DJ, and multi-instrumentalist from Harare, Zimbabwe, and a collaboration between the multidisciplinary artist and cultural curator Shumba Maasai with British electronic music duo Coldcut and composer and music producer Aron Kyne.

'Dzinomwa Muna Save'  loosely translates as 'We drink from the Save River - Our ancestors the Lions (Shumba-My mothers Totem) drink from the Save River. So we are the children of the Save River, from whom our ancestors (the Lions) drink.”, Shingai adds. 

The single marks Earth Month and comes ahead of EarthSonic’s Flow album released later this year, and will feature new tracks from artists from different parts of the world, including Nadine Shah (UK), Charlotte Church (UK), Sohini Alam (British-Bangladeshi), Jaloo, Bebé Salvego and Keila (Brazil), Maxine Peake (UK), Madame Gandhi (USA) and Icelandic Artists Valdis, Soffía Meldal, Kiely and Laura Luard.
