Throwback Thursday Bongo Playlist

It needs not be said, but since the words won’t reduce the size of my tongue or anything, am going to go ahead and say it. It’s Throwback Thursday people!

I honestly feel like I have lifted a great load off my back by simply saying that. Plus it makes me happier to know that you know. And in this edition, I would like you all to jump into my time capsule as we take a mental joyride back in time when Bongo Music ruled the airwaves, with a video playlist of 10 Bongo songs that had everyone obsessively compelled to sing along to whenever they came on.

This is the end of our journey back in time and I hope these memories at least gave you an endless spring of joy! I don’t know about you but, this throwback reminded me of days when I would sing along to every word  when no one was around because these songs tapped into the deepest of one’s emotions.

Tanzania played a big part in East African music when it comes the growth of the industry and that’s a fact we can’t play blind to.

Love Bongo Music? Keep it Mdundo!
