East African music heavyweights Marioo and Nameless join forces on NASINZIA II, a contemporary reimagining of Nameless’ iconic love anthem Sinzia. The single was released worldwide on 12 February 2026, perfectly timed ahead of Valentine’s Day.
Originally released in 2010, Sinzia became one of East Africa’s most enduring love songs, a soundtrack to romance, longing and emotional vulnerability for an entire generation. NASINZIA II revives this timeless narrative, blending nostalgia with modern Afrosoul and Afro-pop elements, smooth melodies and heartfelt lyricism crafted for today’s global audience.
Nameless, one of Kenya’s most celebrated and influential artists, is widely regarded as a pioneer of modern East African pop music. With a career spanning over two decades, his songwriting and vocal delivery have shaped the region’s romantic soundscape, making Sinzia a cultural milestone that continues to resonate across generations.
Marioo represents the new wave of Tanzanian music, known for his emotive storytelling, smooth vocals and consistent chart-topping releases. His ability to fuse vulnerability with contemporary African sounds has earned him widespread acclaim, making him the perfect collaborator to reintroduce Sinzia through a fresh, youthful lens.
Together, Nameless and Marioo create a seamless cultural and musical bridge between Kenya and Tanzania. NASINZIA II is more than a remake, it’s a celebration of legacy, evolution and the enduring power of love stories told through African music. The single is accompanied by a music video that is also out now.
