Ali Kiba: Nakusihi Mrembo edgier (american?) sounding bongo flava although with the same melodic, swa lyrical flow that i really like about tanzanian urban music.


Z Anto feat Pingu: Binti Kiziwi soundtrack of our mombasa trip. memorable as there was an ongoing conversation on what a binti kiziwi is amongst we who are kiswahili-challenged (clue: check out the video).
