Drawing from the popular Tanzanian Gogo sound that mixes traditional East African instruments with multiple vocalists, the contagious and transient sound swiftly expresses the glory and wonder of nature sitting at the cost of people and their shifting perspectives for our planet's security. Vocalists include the admired Msafiri Zawose, Pendo John, DPrince Casmir and Alex Lobulu.

Single

Tutafanyaje

Kwata Fagio (Let us Work Together) crosses styles with sounds of the East African marimba, quick rap beats and playful reframing of tradition. The inimitable sounds of Msafiri Zawose's contemporary Gogo fusion music mixed with our own Alex Lobulu's throaty voice and adaptable composition, makes for a cool and entranced listening experience contrasting the urgent lyrics that convey the current global climate crisis.

Bwana Ni Nuru

Nurturing talent through co-writes and collaborations, VOM and Vichwa Vya Habari partner with Zungu Pori and Attu Medicine from Saanya Juu Kilimanjaro for our new release, Karibu Tanzania. A catchy hip-hop anthem getting the word out about resilience, riches and promises of their nation. 

The hopeful poets flow fresh personal style sheathed in the intoxicating peaceful rhythm Tanzanians effortlessly embody. Jumping-off with a smooth call-out to Gen Z, followed with cautionary tales of history and teachable moments, the male-female duo raps and reps out for happenings in their beloved nation of Tanzania.

Karibu Tanzania

A mix of English and Swahili lyrics glide into a colorful tour and clarity of identity for both the youthful singer and the story she tells. Attu's ladylike and gentle voice resonates with truthful sound and sincere heart. Harmonized with male counterpart, Miki, they seem to somehow awaken serene sonic beauty backed with chill beats and that exceptional easy savannah sound.

Mama Africa

Focused on creating something novel while embodying the roving spirit of the Maasai, the EP targets a fusion of optimistic sounds and mellow transitions to express ingenuity of time-honored Maasai culture. The lyrical storytelling delves into serious topics of cultural preservation, poverty, and inspires examination of traditional and modern lives with specific appeal to the “next generation” or the youth of this East African region.

Uncommon sound strives to depict that special something of this unique culture where beauty, value and wealth are determined by their own devotion to traditions and not the standards or expectations of the world around them. Encompassing the rarity and inimitable characteristics of Maasai people, we felt a completely fresh sound was the best musical arrangement option, living somewhere in a space between underground and mainstream and tradition and truth.

DPrince Casmir, ft Dorcas Hezekiah and composer Alex Lobulu render a smooth single of soul hip-hop, I've Got You.

Throwing their own artistry in making some Tanzanian musical history, the song flits between rapped verses and soulful suggestions of the spiritual. Casmir, a hardworking entrepreneur, maps out his story lyrically and turns the spotlight on pride verse remorse and faith over agnosticism.

I've Got You

Equally parts spiritual and actionable, Nemaa's story expresses undeniable sensibilities to standing at a precipice, as his traditional social patterns and way of life are disrupted, but his spirit remains strong. His personal and communal beliefs are beautifully captured by the tracks mid-tempo production and etherical vocals. Female vocalist, Catrina, adds balance with a soft refrain.
