Blending island pop rhythms, soulful melodies and modern production, ‘KAMAM’ is the deeply personal new single from Voice of Lele out now, a daughter’s tribute to her late father – a man whose strength, spirit and song continue to shape her life and artistry.

“Born far from home but held by my father’s love, KAMAM tells the story that shaped my spirit, my voice, and the woman I am today,” says Lele.

Produced by Rob Amoruso (The Rubens, MAY-A, Baker Boy), the track layers Lele’s distinct harmonies over lush, island-inspired instrumentation, anchored by a moving guitar outro that lovingly recreates her father’s signature Fender Strat tone. Sung partly in the Biak language, the chorus “Kamam, Yaswar Au Kaku” translates to “Dad, I love you very much.”

‘KAMAM’ marks 20 years since her father’s passing, a milestone that deepens the song’s emotional resonance. “He left us suddenly at 55,” Lele shares. “This song is my way of saying thank you — for his love, his lessons, and for showing me how to stand tall in both my culture and my music.”

In the accompanying video, past and present beautifully intertwine – childhood memories of Lele and her father flicker behind her as she sings by his side today, bridging generations through song.

Music runs deep in Lele’s blood. Her late father, the lead singer and composer of the legendary Black Brothers Band, was a cultural icon who filled stadiums across the Pacific and Indonesia and inspired generations of Melanesian artists. Following in his footsteps, Lele and her sisters formed The Black Sistaz, performing alongside UB40, Julian Marley, Michael Franti, Katchafire, Natiruts, George Telek, Edou, and SOJA, and appearing at Cali Roots (USA), Glastonbury (UK), Montreal Jazz Festival (CA), WOMAD (AUS) and more.

Lele’s story is one of joy, pride and purpose. Born a refugee, she carries her roots not as a burden but as a blessing – a reminder of the strength, colour, and connection that come from belonging to something bigger than yourself. Her journey across lands and cultures has only fuelled her mission: to share her heritage with the world through music that uplifts, empowers, and celebrates life in all its forms.

Stepping into her own light, Lele launched her solo career with ‘Island Proud’, followed by ‘Jow Manfun’ and ‘Amazing Grace’ in 2024. In January 2025, she released the duet ‘My Island Home’ with husband and Australian world music star Mitch Tambo, which reached the top of the charts. Additional singles ‘E Mambo’ and ‘My Island Home (Solo)’ further showcased her magnetic voice and deep cultural soul.

Her performances from Carols By Candlelight and the Australian Open to Dunggula Cultural Festival and Vision Splendid radiate a joy and energy that remind audiences what music is truly for: connection, celebration, and healing.

With ‘KAMAM’, Voice of Lele delivers her most personal work to date – a song that bridges generations and borders, carrying forward the love, spirit, and strength of her father through the universal language of song.
