Nako 2 Nako Feat Joh Makini and Shaa – Wawiwo
Nako 2 Nako is a group from Arusha, that has been on the Tanzania music scene for a while now. There is no best way to describe their music since they can go from from doing a street hiphop song to a club track and you can’t reraaly put them in a box. All I can say is that their music is full of intricate rhyms that are accompanied with great wordplay.
We have featured Nako 2 Nako before with Nipe Tano and although the group is everyone once in a while adding new members to the team, the original main members remain Ibra da hustler and Lord Eyes. They have tons of hit songs on thier catalog, although most people not from Tanzania remember Ibra da hustler on the international club banger “Bongo Groove’ that featured Loon and Da Gritty. Matter of fact let me see If I can pull that track from the archives!!!!
On this track Nako 2 Nako extend an invite to Joh Makini and Shaa for a crazy street anthem. If your into that street edgy music and love listening to crazy rhymes, you will definitely enjoy this one. So lets kick off the week on a positive note by bumping this track ”Wawiwo” . Enjoy!!!!

Shaa – Shoga (**GetMziki Artist Spotlight)
We have tons of tracks from Shaa and have had discussions among ourselves about how great her songs are and the way she has a bright future in Bongo music. With everything else we try to accomplish, we sadly enough haven’t really posted any tracks from her until now.
Sarah Kaisi, now commonly known as Shaa, is a 24 year old talented Tanzanian, who grew up in a musical family with her debut album being in early 2004 with the group “Wakilisha” of the East Africa Coca Cola Pop stars. The album had the hit single “Hoi” but after a while she left the group and went to Washington DC to further her studies. In October 2008, she landed herself a major record deal with Tanzania’s MJ Records and recorded her first solo album “Zamu Yangu” which means “It’s my turn”, since everybody in her former group had released albums apart from her.
Her music is a fusion of Zouk, Reggae and Bongo Flava . She was last year nominated for the the Best Newcomer of The Year category at the 2009 MTV Africa Music Awards (MAMA) and was also just recently signed to Rockstar 4000 Music Entertainment – the African continent’s first Pan African 360 Music & Entertainment Company and Record Label.
Her past hit singles include “Pambazuka” with AY, “Mtimanyongo” with Langa and “Mafundi”. The Song “Shoga” has slowly but surely been climbing the charts in most bongo radio station countdowns and with this track, she definitely cements her place in Bongo music for the long haul. Make sure to also check out the video for the beautiful backgrounds and “African Authenticity”. If this is the first time you’re hearing about Shaa, be ready to hear tons of her amazing work in the next coming years. Enjoy!!!
