The Sound of the Sun Rising Over the Savanna
Kwaya is not an ordinary choir library. It’s goosebumps. It’s vastness. It’s that moment when the sun slowly rises over the savanna and everything stands still for a brief second.

For this passion project, Eduardo Tarilonte found the perfect choir in Aba Taano from Uganda, four men and two women, award-winning, with voices that go straight under your skin.

Kwaya is for you if you want to bring the unmistakable, intense sound of African vocal performances into your productions. Whether it’s film scores, documentaries, musical songs, ambient atmospheres, or Afrobeats, this is where you’ll find pure inspiration. And the freedom to truly make it your own.

Your Choir. Your Sound.
Each of the six voices was recorded individually. That means:
You build your own ensemble. You control volume, panning, and tone color. You shape the choir exactly the way it sounds in your head.

Each singer recorded 40 different syllables, which you can switch instantly via keyswitch. On top of that, there are five True Legato Vowels (a, e, i, o, u) that allow syllables to connect naturally and smoothly. And of course, the distinctive “mm” articulation that gives East and Central African singing its unmistakable vibe.

Top-Level Recording Quality
Recorded at Eldana Studio in Spain using a Pablo Kahayan U47 through an API preamp. The result is a warm, detailed, and natural sound. Eduardo Tarilonte carefully selected the best takes from all recording sessions. The voices were intentionally left almost completely natural, giving you maximum freedom in post-processing.

What you get:

4 solo male voices
2 solo female voices
5 “True African Style Legatos” (a, e, i, o, u)
“Mmmh” articulation
Powerful Phrase Arranger with 20 phrases of 8 syllables each
40 combinable syllables with automatic True Legato
700+ vocal effects
16 soundscapes
10,000+ stereo samples (44 kHz / 24 bit)
7 GB uncompressed, approx. 4.5–5 GB compressed
The syllables are based on a fantasy language. Some poems and vocal effects originate from the Ugandan language.

A happy Kwaya customer: “The new library ‘Kwaya’ with African voices is simply outstanding! The sound of the voices is superb and not only suitable for African music. The programming is well thought out and guarantees an uncomplicated workflow.”
