Juma Nature is one of the best, well known and most creative artists in the Bongo Flava Swahili hiphop arena. He was one of the founders of the Wanaume Family who came together with the aim of sharing ideas on how to use Swahili hip hop positively and helping other upcoming artists. The whole Wanume family reminds me of the Wu-Tang movement. However the Wanaume Family group split in November 2006 and as a result, Nature put together a new group under the name of Wanaume Halisi.
One of the readers wanted us to showcase some new music from Juma Nature and on checking my music folders noticed this tracks from Wanaume Halisi . The first one is an exclusive track feat Ray C called “Huyu Binti”(A Mandugu Digital Production), while the second one “Tatu Bila” has been a bongo street anthem for a couple of months now. If you really appreciate that raw straight spittin hip hop then “Tatu Bila” should find a spot on your ipod, Serato play list or cd player. Don’t forget where you first heard the tracks.

Dona,
I dont think you will realize how this post means so much to me. There are couple of things that are very sentimental about this particular post
1. Huyu Binti is a big track right now in East Africa and its also the spirited come back for Wanaume family who have been going through a series of split ups and come backs, its just nice to see or hear from the TMK family.
2. Tatu Bila is very personal track to me I think especially because its another emotionally inclined track that the TMK family did to reach out to the soccer team. Like how cool is that – that your peeps dedicate some passionate football chant. Ever since TZ built that new over hyped stadium, it seems the sport in general has been picking up. For me I think its with these sort of attempts that the industry as a whole will start to pick up, the more bodies attend soccer matches the more we can churn out more players and start paying better… and eventually maybe start being a part of the Africa cup of Nations – coz truthfully Sports in TZ just died. Maze hata Volleyball hakuna bana..
Anyway big ups.. these songs are taking me back .. kama blackie ya Makaa!!! I want to go home now…

Thanks for the props and I’m glad you like the post.
I have been rocking “Tatu Bila” for a while now and like you the way Wanaume Halisi supported the whole soocer team is something upcomin artists need to embrace too by thinking outside the box. Wanaume Halisi puts more meaning to what I have always insisted “good music is good music regardles of the subject matter”
