Arcane, a spoken word artist and emcee from Harare has served an unexpecting audience with a intense rap release in the form of Waibata. The song, whose title is Shona slang for ‘you get/understand it?’ sees Arcane artistically navigate through duality with much of his two verses and the chorus going back and forth between the Shona chants “ayehwa” which translates to “no” and “eheka” which is an exclamation of agreement with clever wordplay & a strong delivery.
