In the wake of the Corona virus that has resulted in more than 8,000 deaths worldwide, Tanzanian singer Raymond Shaban Mwakyusa, alias Rayvanny, has released a song to sensitize the public about the killer disease.

In the the jam titled Corona, the 26-year-old musician asks people to be careful so that they don’t contract the deadly virus which kills within a few days.
He urges people from various walks of life i.e. students, vendors and construction workers etc. to protect themselves by regularly washing their hands, avoiding large gatherings and going to the hospital when they have symptoms.
Rayvanny asks people to pray to God so that the virus goes away within a short time while taking care so that it does not affect them.
Other than the powerful message that it carries, I’m sure after listening to Corona, you’ll agree with me that it is such a beautiful composition.
If you are a fan of Rayvanny like I am then you know that he has an amazing voice and he puts it into good use in this jam to highlight the seriousness of the disease.
As you listen to him, you can tell that he is pained by what is going on around the world and you get to connect with him on a personal level.
The instrumentation of this track is dope because it’s subtle thus allowing the message to sink in. Although the video is quite simple I feel it on point because it aligns with the theme of the song.
Watch Corona below and tell us what you think.
