Ugandan rising star Pawaboy AB joins forces with songstress Ava Peace on “Ntaawa,” a smooth and romantic Afrobeats release that arrived on August 16, 2026. The collaboration brings together two emerging voices for a warm record built around love, attraction, and the desire to stay close to someone special.
“Ntaawa” leans into Luganda lyrics and affectionate storytelling, with catchy phrases such as “Jira nosembera” and “Mulungi mata” helping shape the song’s memorable hook. Pawaboy AB and Ava Peace trade expressive vocals, creating the feel of an intimate conversation between two lovers.
The production blends contemporary Ugandan Afrobeats with soft dancehall influences, pairing melodic synths with a relaxed mid-tempo rhythm. Nessim Pan Production and Mello Beats handle the production, giving the record a polished sound that works equally well for casual listening, romantic playlists, and social media content.
Following Pawaboy AB’s earlier collaboration “Ntwala” with Jowy Landa, “Ntaawa” adds another strong duet to his growing catalog. Ava Peace’s melodic presence further strengthens the track, making the collaboration an appealing meeting point between Uganda’s emerging Afrobeats and dancehall scenes.
