Yatapita - Diamond Platnumz 

After his Amapiano and Afrobeats experiment in 2022, Diamond Platnumz returned to the Bongo Fleva arena with Yatapita.

The song is accompanied by a blockbuster music video that has been praised by fans for its relatable storyline. 

Nitasema - Jay Melody 

Jay Melody poured his all into Nitasema which is a Swahili word for "I'll say". In this soothing Bongo Fleva song, Jay Melody confesses his loyalty and affection to his lover. The song is Jay Melody's continuous dedication to the Bongo Fleva Genre. 

Wewe - Ben Pol 

Seems Ben Pol is here to bring a renaissance to the fading R&B in Tanzania and in his new song titled Wewe, Ben Pol shows his vulnerability and longing for affection from his ex-lover.

Just like Adele's Someone Like You, Wewe is meant to showcase and focus on  Ben Pol's vocal prowess and songwriting skills rather than the beat itself. 

Vavayo - Whozu Ft Marioo

Despite its green simple, bread-and-butter lyrics, there is something so addictive about Whozu's Vavayo. Whether it's the S2kizzy well-catered beat or the choir-like vocals in the chorus, it is not an understatement to say that, Whozu has once again scored a smash hit with this Amapiano track. 

Namchukia - Yammi 

We should update our list of the best debut songs by Tanzanian artists because this Baibuda track decorated by Yammi's alluring Taarab-like vocals deserves a spot. The song is found in Yammi's debut EP titled 3 Hearts. 

Free Remix - Lord Eyes Ft Jay Moe & Nikki Mbishi. 

Nobody saw Free Remix coming and you might be surprised by how Jay Moe has been able to perfectly blend his rap lines in this song. The addictive chorus dished by Lord Eyez and Nikki Mbishi's short but sweet verse has made the remix in every way superior to the original song. 

Muntata - Dully Sykes 

Since his debut in the early 2000s Dully Sykes has never, not even once, left the Bongo Fleva music scene and his latest dish titled Muntata acts as a kind reminder to all new generation Bongo Fleva act that Dully Sykes is here to stay.
