While the big boys in the music industry keep getting bigger, the up-and-coming creatives are also honing their crafts so that they can fly as high as the big boys.

It is undeniable that when you mention bangers in the African music industry without mentioning some from Tanzania, you will be talking about something else, not music since in 2021 alone Tanzania gave the world so many hits, in this piece I’m gonna share the top ten hits that Tanzanian artists gave the world;

1. Zuchu -Sukari

At such a young age, Zuchu got an opportunity that a lot of musicians in Tanzania think is a one-in-a-lifetime opportunity, she joined Wasafi Classic Baby Label (WCB).

Zuchu being among the two female artists from that label had the hunger to show Tanzanians and the world what she has. This year has made us dance and sing along with her hit song ‘Sukari’ which has garnered so many views on YouTube and is frequently played on radios and left and right in ceremonies.

2. Harmonize ft H Baba & Awilo Longomba – Attitude

Famously known as Tembo or Kondeboy, this year he brought us this Sebene song featuring Awilo Longomba, the music legend from Congo. You will feel lacking in nightclubs if this song is not played.

The uniqueness in dancing styles and attire in the music video is what helped this song gain massive airwaves.

3. ALIKIBA Ft Kings Music – Ndombolo

With his own children that he signed under Kings Music, like Kituga and Abdu Kiba (who is his young brother), the king of vocals gave us this danceable hit.

He did an amazing marketing program with video clips circulating of people dancing to the song before the official release, so when it was officially released we were ready to dance and make this a banger.

4. Mbosso ft Diamond Platnumz – Baikoko

Mbosso who came from the Yamoto band before joining WCB always gives us the best coastal tunes in his love songs.

This year he featured his boss and owner of WCB, Diamond Platnumz in the release of his song ‘Baikoko‘ a song that coastal women and girls dance to during ceremonies.

Up to this day, it is the most-watched song on YouTube with millions of views.

5. Barnaba ft ALIKIBA – Cheketua

Barnaba who is a writer and a music nerd who has a unique melody in his songs decided to feature AliKiba in this song that celebrates weddings and marriage in general. And that’s why it doesn’t come as a shock when in their videos they are seen in black and white suits like penguins.

Before the release of the song, we thought Barnaba was getting married again because the pictures from the video shoot were spread before the release of the video, maybe it was their publicity stunt gaining traction.

6. Marioo – For you

We were so used to his heartbreak and lamenting songs, and so this year he really shocked us when he released a love song.

It seems like there is a gurl who has captured his heart to the extent he has forgotten the heartbreak he faced in ‘Inatosha’ and ‘Unanionea’.

‘For You’ is a song that is in every top ten and top twenty on radios. To the extent that today if you don’t mention Mario in any top ten music list in Tanzania, then you are clueless about the Tanzanian music industry.

7. Diamond Platnumz – Naanzaje

I could have been shocked if Simba wasn’t gonna roar the whole year in the jungle, it could have been unfair to his fans who love good music.

Musically his 2020 was different from this year but he still gave us the best hit song in ‘Naanzaje‘.

If you just hear this banger once, you will dream about it for weeks to come, that’s how good it is.

8. Maua Sama – Zai

Maua has been breaking her own records since she started her music career, it’s like she only compares and competes with who she was yesterday.

She gave us a national anthem with her song ‘Iokote’ and this year she has left our jaws wide open as we move to ‘Zai’.

9. Anjela – Nobody

She is the first female artist to be signed under Konde Gang, and she has tried to show us how talent in music.

It is not easy for the first song an artist releases to be a hit song but it has been different for Anjela, ‘No body’ has been a song that hit the nail. Many predicted her fall but she is still in the race and going big.

10. Nandy – Naanzaje

She calls herself African Princess, and Tanzania got to know her in 2016 with her unique voice and beauty. From Tanzania House of Talent (THT) under Ruge Mutahaba who was the mastermind in the music industry.

Her first song was ‘Nagusagusa‘ but in 2021 ‘Naanzaje’ has forever marked her as the only African princess in the music industry.
