On May 23, 2025, Tanzanian music stars Rayvanny, Marioo, and Harmonize dropped their highly anticipated collab “PERE.” The single perfectly combines Bongo Flava with Amapiano beats to offer a fresh sound for listeners and highlight Tanzania’s music scene.
A Triple Threat
Rayvanny: Rayvanny, who is more formally known as Raymond Shaban Mwakyusa, is one of the biggest stars in Bongo Flava and Afro-pop music. As the founder of Next Level Music, few musicians in Africa can match his track record for hits.
Marioo: Omary Ally Mwanga, famously known as Marioo, is a huge name in the Tanzanian music industry. He is versatile in that he fits into Bongo Flava, Amapiano, and Afropop, making him an East African star.
Harmonize: Rajab Abdul Kahali, who goes by Harmonize, is a well-known artist who creatively merges Bongo Flava with Afrobeats. As the founder of Konde Music Worldwide, he has collaborated with various African musicians and is now a significant name in the music industry across the continent.
Created by S2Kizzy, “PERE” shows its funky beats and nice vocals. Lyrically, the song deals with themes of love and lust, presented in Swahili, which gives the song layers and character. Despite the old sounds that could be identified as Tanzanian, “PERE” is more aligned with Amapiano, which is more current to dance to.
After the song dropped across Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, etc. it has gained traction. The fans who posted will keep pushing this collaborative work, which is a good, catchy vibe, and a great mix of identification for each artist’s separate performances.
The song shows Rayvanny, Marioo, and Harmonize’s degree of talent, but also a display of strength as a unity of the Tanzanian music industry.
All available streaming/download platforms make “PERE” accessible for fans around the globe to enjoy the music from Tanzania.

Wow, “PERE” is such a vibe! The blend of Bongo Flava and Amapiano is genius, and it’s refreshing to see Tanzanian artists pushing boundaries. Rayvanny, Marioo, and Harmonize really brought their A-game with this one—vocals, beats, and lyrics are all on point. I love how the song stays true to its roots while still feeling modern and global. The themes of love and lust in Swahili add so much depth and authenticity. It’s amazing how this track is gaining traction worldwide—proof that great music transcends borders. But I’m curious, do you think this collab will inspire more Tanzanian artists to experiment with Amapiano? What’s your take on the future of Bongo Flava in the global music scene?
