Highlife favorite Dada Hafco is back in full storytelling mode with the release of his new single “Konongo Kaya,” a record that dives straight into the emotional complications of today’s relationships. Dropped on Friday, the track sees Hafco return to the timeless highlife formula—truth, wit, melody, and raw human experience.
At its core, “Konongo Kaya” paints a vivid picture of a partner who refuses to commit yet won’t let go—holding on just tightly enough to block your happiness while offering nothing real in return. It’s a scenario many listeners will instantly recognize, and Hafco delivers it with a blend of humor, frustration, and emotional clarity over a warm, mid-tempo groove.
But Hafco doesn’t spare the other side either. In classic observational fashion, he turns the spotlight on men—especially the married ones—who lure women in with the tired line: “If I had met you before my wife, I would have married you…”A promise that leads nowhere, yet keeps women emotionally stuck. It’s bold, relatable, and delivered with the honesty that has become Hafco’s trademark.
Musically, the single shines with riff-driven guitars from Dominic Quarchie and polished production from DDT, giving the song a lush, modern edge without losing its highlife soul. The arrangement feels warm and familiar, while the storytelling hits with refreshing 2025 energy.
“Konongo Kaya” is more than a song—it’s a conversation starter. From radio panels to Twitter threads and WhatsApp group chats, it’s the kind of highlife that gets people debating, laughing, and reflecting all at once.
With this release, Dada Hafco cements his role as one of highlife’s sharpest commentators, documenting relationships exactly as they are—not as people pretend they are. “Konongo Kaya” is honest, confrontational, and incredibly relatable.
This is highlife storytelling at its finest.
