Tanzanian artist Awilo Kidume Cha Mbeya returns with “Malaika,” a Bongo Flava single that lands alongside a remix titled “Malaika (feat. Aslay).”
The release keeps the singer busy in a crowded season. Fans had been asking when the audio would land, and the single answers that wait. The remix pairs him with Aslay, so the record stretches further than a solo drop would.
Awilo Kidume Cha Mbeya is a Tanzanian act rooted in the country’s Bongo Flava scene. His catalogue includes “Kifo kipo,” “Maisha,” and “UWOLO,” while DJ Chenga Mtu Mbad has worked a Singeli remix of his name track.
Choosing “Malaika” as the focus makes sense because the word carries weight across East African music. It also gives newer listeners an easy entry point, although the artist already has plenty to dig through.
