Bongo flava star Ibraah links up with veteran Dully Sykes for a cool new record titled “Pozi,” a pairing mixing new school and old school. The title sounds like street talk for striking a pose, so the mood stays playful from the jump.
Ibraah handles the hook with his usual mellow tone. He sounds more playful than usual, yet the melody still carries a little ache. Dully Sykes then jumps in with a confident verse full of old-school swagger, while the lyrics focus on style, attitude and love in easy Swahili. The two generations blend without any awkward moment.
Dully Sykes has been in the game since the early bongo flava days, with hits like “Julieta” and “Salome.” Ibraah, on the other hand, rules the younger crowd. So the crossover makes sense on paper, and it holds up on the record.
Ibraah brings the feeling, Dully brings the experience, and Tanzania gets a fun crossover. Is “Pozi” already on your playlist? Drop your verdict in the comment section below.
