The Needle / Tanzania - Current

"The Needle / Tanzania - Current" captures a snapshot of what’s fresh and buzzing within the Tanzanian and broader East African music scene, while also weaving in a few tracks that pull from global trends in hip-hop, afrobeat, amapiano, and electronic pop. From the streetwise Swahili flows of Moni Centrozone on "Malume 24" to the soulful gospel sounds of BELLA KOMBO and Evelyn Wanjiru's "Mungu Mmoja - Live," the playlist balances traditional influence with modern stylings. Artists like D Voice, Nay Wa Mitego, and Appy add local flavor with Afro-fusion and bongo flava, while tracks like "IN MY HEAD" by Timaya and Tiwa Savage and "MKK" by KMAT ride heavy afrobeat and amapiano rhythms.

Electronic edits, like Vateria's sped-up rework of "where is my mind," sit alongside drill refixes, trendy crossovers like "Wanna Be" with Megan Thee Stallion, and chill melodic cuts from Jamie Miller and Armaan Malik. There’s a mix of gospel tracks, dancefloor-ready amapiano, Southern influences via Dolly Parton's "Southern Accents," and viral sounds like "Boy Bye" by Chlöe. Altogether, the playlist works like a real-time scroll through East Africa’s shifting musical currents, with diversions into global pop culture and sonic experimentation.
