Why Tanzanian artist are slowly warming up to Kenya

For a while now Kenyans have enjoyed music both from Kenya and Tanzania thanks to the partnership between the two countries, musicians such as Susumila, Gabu, Bahati, Willy Paul, Akothee to name but a few.

In what seems like a wave, Tanzanian artist seems to be warming up to Kenya and they’ll seem to love the music that we do in Kenya while you can say the same thing to Kenyan music lovers.

Recently, we have seen musicians like Susumila warmed up to Tanzania’s Mbosso and Lavalava together they did big good songs that clearly have gathered good numbers on YouTube and given them the views that they deserve.

One would ask why the Tanzanian boys and girls seem to be warming up to Kenya. Well, if you ask me I believe that because of the Swahili dialect they use and the poetic nature is why Kenyans love is their music.

Mbosso and Susumila

Tanzania the crown takers of new-age R&B?

I’m in for the longest time we have not had the 90s r&b that would create the mood in all what seems like the love renditions of music. However, the Tanzanian boys seem to have mastered the art of doing RnB music using Swahili.

A good example is “La vie” a song done by Kenya’s Tanasha Donna and Wasafi’s Mbosso. Barely a week and the song was able to get over 1 million views on YouTube.

Well yes, some would say it’s because she is close to Diamond Platinumz but again whether she is or not, Tanasha can sing.

Furthermore, when you listen to the songs it gives you a reason to fall in love again and again with your heart or not it does give you a reason to love.

But anyway whether they just coming to Kenya just for the numbers or not it is clear that Bongo artists have seen good potential in Kenyan-Tanzanian collaborations.

Susumila features Lavalava in New jam “Warembo”

Susumila has had a some bumps in his career since the year began. With a low track in music production. However, things seem to be changing at a very high rate and it is for the better.

Recently he has teamed up with one of Wasafi’s  finest lavalava to bring us their new collaboration dubbed Warembo.

Lavalava was in the country for a music tour and collaborations and so far his stay was fruitful.

 Warembo

Warembo, this is not your typical love song. In this song Susumila plays the fixer role as Lavalava searches for love in Kenya.

Well, am sure it won’t hurt if we get another “in law” at Wasafi.  I mean its not the first and won’t be the last.

Anyhow that  aside, the song was delivered beautifully by the two artists,it looked more like “Ngojera”-this is from the little Swahili I remember from school.

The style where it  is more conversational than the normal lyrical singing.

The melodic approach was bongo like and we love it.

Lyrics

In their lyrics, the two have been keen to bring up names of several female celebrities both from Kenya and Tanzania.

This style is beautifully done as Lavalava asks Susumila to help  him get the woman of his dreams.

He mentions the likes of Vera Sidika and of course mentions Otile brown as a recap of what happened between the two.

Further own goes own to mention Kobi Kihara as one the women he loves.

On the other hand Susumila seeks to understand why Lavalava can’t get a woman from his home country to mention the drama’s and publicity stunts from the likes of Wema Sepetu and Pendo.

Lavalava mentions that those are not his types those that love scandals and he doesn’t advocate for such.

On the other hand Susumila gives a warning shot that Kenyan girls are after the limelight and the money.Insulting right? But it carries some truth anyway.

As the on and off conversation goes on, Lavalava says he wants beautiful ladies from Mombasa and Nairobi.

Well, Ladies Volume iko sawa? Let love prevail. Or maybe its not just a song Lavalava might be in search,people should try their luck.

Production

The song was produced by Monsta Madness  under Spice music studios. I must say this was a big boost for Susumila and we hope for more music  from him.

For rating I will give 8/10. Watch and tell us what you think.
