Lameck Ditto (Born Lameck Kalengezi, in 1987) is Tanzanian Bongo Flava artist and singer. He is the founder and member of LAFamilia group. Lameck Ditto is probably one of the more well known Bongo Flava artist currently in the region. From what we understand he is actually a great music composer/writer as well as a talented vocalist. From the sound of this hit track its easy to see why the cat has taken off over the last two years like a storm. Funny enough after doing some digging of our own, we realised that he has actually been in the game for a while. He has been featuring on many tracks but we just hadn’t recieved anything from his individual efforts.
Lameck featured on tracks with Chidi Benz (Dar Stand up) and some big collabo with Afande Sele called Darubini Kali. But his biggest break through was when they switched collaborations with Afande Sele and made a track him titled “Dunia ina Mambo” (check it out on his myspace account). To our understanding Dunia ina mambo came out in 2005 and was an instant hit in the Tanzania market. This track we are posting was performed at the THT (Tanzania House of Talents) event and has been featured greatly on some of their work (http://www.tht.co.tz/). Right now Lameck is working on his debut album and from the sounds of it, he just might be the next artists to watch from Tanzania. Ali Kiba and Matonya step aside for a minute…

Lyrics:
Verse 1 Siwezi Kuishi Bila Upendo wako Ulivyoniteka
Naomba Nihifadhi Kwa Mikono Yako Nisije anguka
Nimezunguka Kutwa Nzima Kama wewe sijamuona
Napigwa Vita Chungu Nzima Lakini Bado Napigana
Choras Wapo walotaka Nikuache Nakusema Sitofika Popote
Ndipo Wakanifanya Niongeze Juhudi Nyingi mpaka siku Niwe wako
Sijali Umenitesa Mara ngapi Ama Nimelia Mara Ngapi
Nia Yangu Ni Moja Siku Moja Tuwe wote Pamoja x2
Verse 2 Sijasahau Usiku Wa Manane ule Ulivyo Nikana
Mbele Ya Nduguzo Na Bwanaako Yule Ukanitukana
Kwa Mapenzi Nilisimama Kama Chizi Nilionekana
Leo Wakusema Hakuna Najua Waamini Nakupenda
Choras Wapo walotaka Nikuache Nakusema Sitofika Popote
Ndipo Wakanifanya Niongeze Juhudi Nyingi mpaka siku Niwe wako
Sijali Umenitesa Mara ngapi Ama Nimelia Mara Ngapi
Nia Yangu Ni Moja Siku Moja Tuwe wote Pamoja x2
