The new release is of the Singeli genre that is fast gaining popularity in Tanzania.
Singeli is Tanzania's version of electronic dance music that emerged in the mid-2000s.
The genre fuses rapid beats and musical influences from older Tanzanian genres like Taarab, Mchiriku, Segere, and Bongo Flava.
Instruments, samples, and vocals are often pitch-shifted up, adding to the frenetic atmosphere.
For years, this music style has remained underground until late 2019.
