Tanzanian superstar Harmonize joins forces with Zambia’s own Chile One MrZambia on the official music video for “Hichilema,” a politically charged campaign anthem released ahead of Zambia’s 2026 general elections.
The song is aimed at rallying support behind President Hakainde Hichilema and the ruling United Party for National Development (UPND) as political momentum continues to build across the country.
Blending Zambia’s local sound with East African Bongo Flava influences, “Hichilema” delivers a message centered on unity, development, optimism, and continued support for the New Dawn administration.
The collaboration reflects the growing trend of political campaigns using mainstream music and influential artists to connect with younger audiences, energize supporters, and amplify campaign messaging through entertainment.
Chile One brings emotional and melodic vocals that resonate with local listeners, while Harmonize adds regional appeal and international star power to the record, helping place the collaboration in the spotlight across Southern and East Africa.
Visually, the official music video features patriotic imagery, energetic performances, campaign-inspired scenes, and symbolism associated with hope, progress, and national unity.
The release arrives at a politically significant time as Zambia prepares for what is expected to be one of its most closely watched elections in recent years. Economic recovery, youth opportunities, energy challenges, and national development remain among the major issues likely to dominate political discussions ahead of the 2026 polls.
