“Continue complaining as Tanzanian music takes over” Diamond’s manager Babu Tale fires at Kenyan musicians

Babu Tale has echoed the same message Kenyan presenters have been telling Kenyan musicians who are whining about their songs not receiving enough airplay.

The likes of Jalang’o and Maina Kageni have been telling Kenyan musician to up their game to match their counterparts in Tanzania and Nigeria instead of complaining.

A trip down memory lane

Babu Tale took to social media to remind Kenyan artistes how Tanzanian airwaves was once dominated by music from Congo and Kenya. He explains that Bongo artiste didn’t demand more airplay but rather took up the challenge and successfully managed to produce songs which Tanzanians liked.

“Kitambo Tanzania ilikua radio zote ni bolingo then ukaamia mziki wa Kenya basi wakenya washakuja sana kwetu na tulikua tunawaona kama wanafanikiwa sababu wanaimba kumix na kizungu galfa akaja kaka kutoka UG akajambisha kinomaaa kipindi icho kupanda ndege ni utajiri tunaona basi mtoto wa moro aliyekua anakaa upanga alipambana kwenda kubanana nao mpaka wakahisi ni wakwao ila Leo hii East Africa mziki unao tikisa ni mziki toka Bongo ni jambo la kumshukuru Mungu kiukweli ila ukiona mtu analalama unatamba sebuleni kwao ajui history ya nyuma kama yeye alitamba mpaka chumbani ,” wrote Babu Tale in part.

He further states that the reason why Bongo musicians are so successful is because of their work ethic. Diamond manager also taunted Kenyan musicians, he said that Bongo music will keep on dominating while artistes from the 254 keep on complaining.

“Tufanyeni kazi ya kulisongesha gurudumu la mziki lifike mbali East Africa ivuke na sio mnawaza mbona zetu azilii maana Tanzania kila j3 wanatoka wasanii wapya kumi na wanafumua haswa nyie endeleeni kulalama wenzenu wanafanya kazi. Na siri ya wasanii wengi wa Tanzania wanaheshimu kazi na wanaofanya nao kazi je nyie nyie mnalijua ilo. ++++ = ……….. Jaza nafasi iloyowazi”
