The bongo scene is full of talented musicians who have dominated the industry for a while. However, some bongo musicians had to give up careers in other fields for music.
This article looks at top bongo artists who could have turned out as professional footballers:
Mbosso
Before joining the Yamoto band, Mbosso was an active football player. The singer is on record stating that he used to practice every evening. However, he got an opportunity as a singer; hence he gave up pursuing professional football.
Alikiba
Alikiba is still playing football but as a hobby. The singer has been involved in several charity matches. In a past interview, Alikiba noted that he would have pursued a career in football if he got an opportunity. However, music has turned out well for him.

Darassa
The Tanzanian rapper always references football in his song. With his hit song, ‘Muziki’ Darassa issued a shout out to Tanzanian international star Mbwana Samatta. Darassa is on record, stating that he has loved football from a tender age.
Harmonize
Like Alikiba, Harmonize has been taking part in charity matches. Before fully deciding to focus on music, Harmonize tried out football. However, the lack of opportunities to go professional meant that he would be tied to music.
