East Africa’s leading musical sensation Marioo has released a moving new single titled ‘TETE’, under Tanzanian label Bad Nation. The song is a heartfelt fusion of Afro fusion and Bongo Flava, produced by the acclaimed S2kizzy and mastered by sonic craftsman Laizer. Crafted to stir hearts and soundtrack love stories across the continent, ‘TETE’ is a poetic ode to love, showcasing Marioo at his most vulnerable.
With a melody that samples Brenda Fassie’s “Nakupenda,” the track lingers long after it ends–with its lyrics offering a sense of healing. Listen here: https://africori.to/tete
Marioo says, “Tete is about a love so deep, it humbles you. It’s that feeling of being so in love, you let your partner lead and care for you–like a child learning how to walk. I wanted to capture that tenderness and intensity and let listeners feel the beauty of love through my perspective.”
At the same time, Marioo has solidified his position as a top music force in Tanzania and beyond, currently ranking as the number one artist on Boomplay Tanzania and also leading on Audiomack Tanzania with over 465,000 monthly listeners. These milestones highlight his massive streaming success and growing influence in the African music scene.
Since breaking onto the scene, Marioo has emerged as the voice of a generation, effortlessly balancing youthful storytelling with deeper, mature themes. With ‘TETE,’ he welcomes fans into a more intimate space, revealing his growth as a custodian of emotion and tradition. The stripped-down romantic visualizer, already trending on YouTube and featuring his wife Paulah Kajala, beautifully captures the simplicity and authenticity of love’s most tender moments.
