Vanillah – Mtungi Ft. Ibraah & Mr T Touch

Vanillah assembles a powerhouse East African lineup alongside Ibraah and Mr T Touch for Mtungi, a Tanzanian Bongo Flava record that brings three strong creative identities together around a production that celebrates life, hustle and the rewards that come with persistence.

Mtungi moves on a vibrant, uptempo Bongo Flava production with the kind of rhythmic drive and melodic layering that makes East African music so irresistible when it is operating at full creative energy, with all three artists contributing vocal performances that feel genuinely engaged rather than simply present on the track. The lyrical direction stays grounded in themes that connect with everyday listeners, giving the record a relatability that makes the celebratory mood feel earned and shared rather than distant and aspirational in a way that excludes the audience from the feeling being expressed.

Vanillah has been consistently building her reputation as one of Tanzania’s most versatile and collaborative female voices, with previous releases and strategic feature appearances demonstrating both her vocal range and her ability to hold her own alongside some of the biggest names in East African music without ever being overshadowed. Ibraah and Mr T Touch both bring their own well-established credibility and fanbases to this record, making Mtungi a collaboration that works on multiple levels simultaneously and gives all three artists something genuinely valuable from the creative investment they have each made in it.

This record has the communal warmth of music made by people who genuinely enjoy being in the studio together, and that collective energy translates directly into a listening experience that puts a smile on your face before the first chorus has even finished.

Listen and Enjoy!
