Tanzania’s Beka Flavor plays all calm in new track “Poa Poa”.

Tanzania’s Beka Flavor has released a new song dubbed  “Poa Poa.” The song which reflects Beka’s sound resolution to a conflict he has is definitely a hit.

Lyrics

Done in Swahili, the Tanzanian artist demonstrates his amazing vocals as he navigates the lyrics

Kuna mengi tulipanga kipindi nipo na yeye

Ila akaja akapangua akayavuruga yale

Kusema la ukweli nimepata pigo

Moyo umetoboka ninauma figo

Kichwa change mwenywe unaona mzigo

The song I mostly about how disappointed we can get when betrayed by lovers.

Beka

He goes on and on about how to deal with the it in a rational way before he decides he is not going to take it to heart and concludes:

Moyo unakataa

Mimi nachukulia tu poa poa

Siwezi weka kwenya moyo,

Ona kawaida, ntafanya nini kibogoyo mie.

It’s quite a peaceful song despite the magnitude of love emotions behind it. He takes the less stressful approach.  Beka Flavor retains calmness throughout the song whose lyrics suggest so much sorrow within.

The video is in a domestic set up and a little of the outdoors in the rain.

We see the very young family in their happy times and the agony as he is going to miss them when they leave after that fight.

The former Yamoto band artist has done well on his own so far. He has done several hit songs including: Again, sikinai, Naona kiza,sarafina , libebe,kibenten, Finally, Goli,Siachani naye, Hapa kazi tu. Beka also has done Collabos with lava lava, Mr Blue, Chemical, Chipoka among other artists. With Yamoto Band, they had songs like Nitakupwelepeta, Cheza kwa madoido, Nisambazie raha, mama, and nitajuta

The song already has thousands of views already with fans expressing how pleased they are with the song. He has remained a darling to many and has managed to retain his thousands of fans in East African and beyond long after he left Yamoto band. A band that fans still long for its reunion to date.

Rating 8/10.

Mbosso of the famed ‘Nadekezwa’-The boy that turned to a man

Mbosso is a bongo musician whose real name is Mbwana Yusuph Kilungi Jr. He was born on 3rd October in Kibiti, Rufiji to a mother who is a farmer and a father who is a tout in Kibiti. His father is called Yusuph Mbone Kilungi while his mother is known as Khadija Salim Kilale.

Despite the hardship he says his parents supported him and educated him until he finished the high school level. This according to a documentary done by Mbosso titled ‘Life of Mbosso” and was produced by Wasafi Records.

After High school he convinced his parents to allow him leave home and go to Dar es Laam and try his luck in Music.A stance that they hesitated for a bit.

Just like any typical African  parent, his parents wanted him to study if he was to have a better chance to life.

Career

He later left home for Dar es Salaam where he began his music career. When he got to Dar, life was not rosy as he had thought before leaving home.

As he kept his hustle one of Tanzania’s biggest producers Mkubwa Fella Identified him  one night picked him up from the streets. Mkubwa Fella teamed him up with a Mkubwa na Wanawe band  which he was managing that was later called Yamoto Band.

Working together with Aslay, Enock Bella , Mbosso  and Beka Flavor,Yamoto band became a sensation for 4 continuous years.Unfortunately they separated after irreconcilable  issues cropped up.

According to Mbosso he went back home after hitting rock bottom, but fortunately he was once again taken back to Dar by Wasafi’s artist  Rayvanny . This was after several friends who trusted in his talent  tried convincing him to go back.

After a while he was signed under Wasafi Records where before being unveiled he had to work on his solo album.Things were tough but  Mbosso did not give up.

As I write this, Mbosso has done several songs that have been received well in East Africa and they include,Watakubali,Nadekezwa,Hodari,Nipepee,Alele,Nimekuzoea,Picha yake, Shida as a solo artist and few collaborations too.

Love life

Mbosso has also kept his love life off the media.However he says he has two children.According to the documentary,his song Watakubali is a true life story of the lady from a rich family who truly loved him but their difference in life status was hindering the relationship.Whoever the lady is, Mbosso will not be revealing her anytime soon.

He recently bought a house for himself and you’d see his humilty in the caption he put on the post on his Instagram post of the house.
