Tanzanian singer Mbosso, the WCB signee known for his smooth vocals and romantic melodies, has taken a surprising turn in his latest release, “Mama Samia.” Ditching the usual themes of love and heartbreak, Mbosso’s new song is a powerful and unapologetic ode to President Samia Suluhu Hassan, praising her leadership and promising her future electoral success.
From the opening lines, it’s clear Mbosso is on a mission. He sings, “Mama Samia, motomoto, liwalo na liwe leo namtangaza”. This sets the tone for the entire song, which is a celebration of President Hassan’s achievements in office. Mbosso highlights her commitment to social justice, economic development, and most importantly, granting Tanzanians the feeling of having their voices heard and their rights respected.
The song’s chorus is a catchy affirmation of support: “Mama Samia tunakupa kura 2025, mama Samia tunakupenda sana” (Mamam anaupiga mwingi, Miundo Mbinu ya uhakika). This isn’t just flattery; it’s a bold declaration of confidence in the President’s leadership and a promise of her continued success.
“Mama Samia” is more than just a praise song; it’s a conversation with the Tanzanian people. Mbosso’s lyrics tap into the national sentiment of hope and optimism that has emerged under President Hassan’s administration. He speaks to the aspirations of a nation eager to move forward and build a brighter future.
Of course, not everyone will agree with Mbosso’s political stance. Some may criticize the song as sycophantic or lacking in nuance. However, there’s no denying its impact. “Mama Samia” has already sparked heated discussions across Tanzania, proving its power to ignite emotions and generate dialogue.
Whether you love it or hate it, there’s no denying that “Mama Samia” is a significant cultural moment in Tanzania. It’s a bold statement from a popular artist, and it reflects the complex and evolving political landscape of the nation. Whether Mbosso’s prediction of President Hassan’s re-election comes true or not, “Mama Samia” will undoubtedly be remembered as a song that captured a moment in Tanzanian history, a moment where music and politics intertwined to create a powerful and thought-provoking piece of art.
