Man, Tanzania’s music scene? Still killing it. Asala, this Bongo Flava newbie everyone’s buzzing about, finally dropped his new track “Babu,” and let me tell you—it lives up to the hype.



He has got a voice you can’t forget and hooks so sticky you’ll be humming them in your sleep. Honestly, he’s not just popping up—he’s straight up putting his stamp on the game, and “Babu” is proof.



So, this one dropped May 2025. The vibe? Clean mix of those classic Tanzanian beats your parents probably love with this fresh, Afrobeat swagger.



Totally modern, but not losing the roots, you know? The track dives deep into stuff like love, wisdom, real respect across generations—the kind of thing that makes you think about your own grandpa. “Babu” means granddad, and Asala’s using that as a symbol of guidance in the song. Real talk, it hits somewhere between nostalgic and brand new. Not everyone’s doing that.
