Tanzanian artiste Harmonize is on a mission to take over East African music after he ditched Diamond Platnumz's Wasafi (WCB) Records.
Diamond has been for years perceived as East Africa's 'Baba Lao', simply to mean the hero of East Africa music, but with the rate at which Harmonize is popping up, Diamond might be overtaken soon or later.
Harmonize recently teased his next song which is a collabo with Nigerian singer Burna Boy. Burna Boy is currently considered one of the best artists in Africa.
This was after the Nigerian won 2019 AFRIMA's Artist of the Year and Best Male Artist in West Africa, beating the likes of Davido.
More so, Burna Boy also made his name known to the whole world after he was nominated for the upcoming World Music Awards, 2020 Grammy Awards. In this, he will battle it out with other highly rated artists including Altin Gün from the Netherlands and Nathalie Joachim with Spektral Quartet from Haiti and the US respectively, for Best World Music Album category with his 'African Giant' album.
This nomination has made Burna Boy the hot cake in the African music scene, and with Harmonize making collabos with him, it is a big boost for the Tanzanian.
Tanzanian Clouds Media celebrated presenter Diva, recently shared details of Harmonize's planned collabos.
Sources say Harmonize had recorded a number of songs with the Nigerian while he was still at WCB, but only managed to release one of them, 'Kainama', due to management restrictions.
Since Harmonize is now running his own record label, Kondegang Worldwide Records, the singer is free to release all the collabos, back to back.
"For now Harmonize is the biggest artist in Tanzania, yes he is number one with the biggest artist in Nigeria, Burnaboy. Recently they killed it (reference to their show in Kigali). Harmonize is an international artist, am told electrifying collabos are set to be released, world-class collabos that will fly Tanzanian flag to the highest cloud ever. (mwanamuziki @harmonize_tz ambae ndio Mwanamuziki Mkubwa sana Kwa Tanzania Kwasasa , My Broski For Life yes ni namba 1 akiwa na Mwanamuziki Mkubwa sana Nigeria @burnaboygram Juzi walikiwasha Wallahy @harmonize_tz Ni International artist nasikia kuna collabo za kufa mtu zitaanza toka kwake yan collabo za dunia nzima zitazopeperusha bendera ya Tanzania haijawah kutokea)," Diva revealed.
In the teased song, Burna Boy is hard singing in Swahili, and the Afrobeat used in the song is absolutely amazing
