Revisited And Re-Released: MwanaFA Feat.Jay Moe "IngeKuwa Vipi"
Ingekuwa Vipi-Revisited And Re-Released[/caption]
MwanaFA [real name Hamis Mwinjuma] is, without a doubt, one of the most
successfully and respected Bongo Hip-Hop artist in Tanzania, across East
Africa and certainly beyond those borders. If that statement made your
eyebrows tilt even a bit, I’d suggest you take one step back and think a
little.
His
lyrics and songs have inspired new words, idioms etc into the street
and classroom dictionaries and thesauruses of Swahili. The grandness of
his lyrical abilities staggers even me who was once upon a time
considered by my peers and schoolmates to be a walking Swahili
dictionary. He can rhyme quickly, confidently and cleanly while making
sense of every word that come out of his mouth.
Recently I approached him with an idea I have wrestled with for a
while.
How
about re-releasing some of the biggest hits from the time when Bongo
Fleva/ Bongo Hip-Hop was starting to see the white-blue sky.
The motivation is to flaunt the standards of the past and give today’s
generation a renewed chance to hear not only the “old school” stuff all
over again but to gain a hindsight of the stories behind. He didn’t
hesitate even for a second. He agreed and here we are. Let’s Go!
