Posted on June 21, 2023 by Ozymandias

Love knows no boundaries, and age is just a number, as evidenced by the story of Yusta Lucas Lucas, a 60-year-old Tanzanian woman who is set to marry her 27-year-old partner.

The couple met three years ago, after Yusta’s first husband passed away. Yusta said that she was initially hesitant to date someone so much younger than her, but she was eventually won over by his kindness and maturity.

“He is a very kind and mature man,” Yusta said in an interview with Mbengo TV. “He treats me with respect, and he makes me feel loved.”

The couple’s age difference has not been without its challenges. Yusta’s family and friends were initially skeptical of her relationship, but they have since come around.

“My family and friends were initially worried about the age difference,” Yusta said. “But they have since come to see how happy we are together, and they have accepted our relationship.”

Yusta and her partner are planning to get married later this year. They are excited to start their new life together, and they are confident that their love will overcome any challenges that they may face.

Tanzania’s Roma and AB Nabil drop another love sensation “Down low”and its totally worth your time

Posted on April 7, 2020May 4, 2020 by Branny

“Down low”is the latest jam to be released from Tanzania by celebrated artists AB Nabil featuring Roma.

Roma and AB Nabil have dropped this new jam in the middle of a Pandemic creating a form of entertainment for their fans. I mean who wouldn’t want something to dance to in this times?

The two are a good blend vocally have served their fans quite a tune. The song brings a familiar tune “Katika” by Navy Kenzo in the chorus to mind plus Roma sounds a lot like Professor Jay who is now a member of parliament in Tanzania.

Roma is a rapper that has clearly stood the the wind of time as he keeps doing good music by the day.

Lyrics

The three minutes song is in Swahili and English and a little of Rwandese.

AB-Nabil takes this first bit of the song

You say you want me to give you dough my money

Baby baby I give you more

Mimi napenda ukijogodo jogodo mama eh

The way you take it down low down low mama eeh

The song is basically a feel-good song.

The video is simple without much dance, from the title of the song one expects that there will be some serious dancing all the way ‘down low’ but surprisingly there is none of that. The vixens could have done better on this. Anyway, the video is rather calm for the title.

AB-Nabil has been in the industry for slightly more than two years and has done several songs including: Mfata, Runyenyeri, Najua unanipenda, Ndagushaka, Monica, Kananipenda, Tulia, Come Close, Sofia, Usichoke among many others.

Roma on the other hand has had a few songs with his greatest hit being “Naitwa Roma.”The artist who has occasionally been accused of running away from Tanzania his home country.

The two artists still have a lot room to build their brand each and do collabos with the many East African artists. With both having a good number of fans who are very supportive within East Africa the two are set and on the right track.

Rating 6/10

Diamond Platinumz has no originality in his work

Posted on February 26, 2020February 27, 2020 by Catherine Nderitu

Diamond Platinumz has been branded the best artiste in East Africa. However, his creativity has now become a topic of discussion.

One might think it is a coincidence that he gets to have worked similar to other celebrities globally. Actually, it is no longer the case. This man is just a copycat who can no longer come up with original work.

A couple of times the singer has been lashed for copying other artistes in the video. One thing to note about Diamond Platinumz’s video is that they have always been copied.

With his latest two songs Gere and Jeje, a lot has come out and it is clear he is no longer good. We cannot blame his director because he as Diamond Platinumz is the boss. He got to decided what is been done.

First, look at Gere, two brains, Diamond Platinumz and Tanasha Donna had to copy all video scenes from Iza’s Brisa songs. Dude needs to be creative! I mean if you have to copy, do it in a twisted way.

In addition, on Jeje he has openly stolen creativity from Burna and Wizkid. Dude this leaves us with questions like does he even write his works or he translates?

Again where does he even get the energy to copy all this and keep repeating it again and again? Also, it is not the second that Diamond Platinumz has been accused of plagiarism. There are a lot of videos online showing how he has copied costumes of big hits.

I know you will still argue with me that he is still the biggest in East Africa but please keep your stones. Also, this is how people slowly lose their audience and fan base.

To add on, am left wondering where did the old Diamond Platinumz go to. I’d rather watch the original work than this copied low budget scenes.

Diamond Platinumz has fooled his fans for long but Gere exposed him to the world. Lol, it is funny how he even can’t perform his work in concerts but only does the ones he has done remixes from other singers.

Diamond Platinumz improve on your work. The world will soon run away from your copied work.

Campaign it Is! Nandy says “Magufuli Tena” in the remake of her once famed “Ninogeshe”

Posted on November 11, 2019May 5, 2020 by Branny

It easily strikes as a campaign slogan especially in the ears of Kenyans who have heard Tano tena. Regardless of whether it is a campaign slogan or not, it’s the title of Nandy’s latest song” Magufuli Tena”released just days ago.

The Ninogeshe hit maker made a rendition in celebration of her president’s works so far.

His excellency Dr John Pombe Magufuli elected in November 2015 has dutifully served Tanzanians sparking so much admiration and appreciation from his people. The No-nonsense president has done lots of impeccable projects as expressed in the song.

Lyrics

The song sang entirely in praise of President J.P. Magufuli praises the things he has done for Tanzania. The list of improvements and changes he has made in Tanzania is endless.

Nandi mentions how he has boosted the medical field by increasing the budgetary allocation; he released a good number of petty offenders.

On the other hand, he has found markets for their local agricultural produce hence boosting the farmers in the country.

Furthermore, he has ensured that a Tanzania has state of the art road and rail transport, free basic education and affordable student loans for those after Higher Education.

The simple fact that he has ensured Tanzanians have access to basic social amenities is enough for Tanzanians.Indeed Magufuli Tena!

Video

The video directed by Jooweezy is simple and precise to the point. The Ninogeshe queen stands out as she takes time on the various sites of development such as a highway and hospital.

There is clear display of the works of the president.

The pictures are enough to make anyone who’s not Tanzanian feel envious and question what their president has done for them.

Standing out in the video is Nandy’s Ankara headwrap; quite the needed African touch.

Wahenga walisema “mcheza kwao hutuzwa” and the joy of Tanzanians has been expressed in this tune. It gives a million reasons why the people of Tanzania will not think twice about voting for Magufuli Tena!

Gracious enough the president tweeted through the governments spokesperson and thanked Nandy for her song.

Your thoughts?For rating I will go with 7/10.
