Posted on by Gloria Katunge

Bongo artist, Prince Dully Sykes has revealed that unlike many other flourishing artists, Harmonize is very respectful to him.

According to him, Harmonize is a pretty successful artist with massive collabo requests from artists across the African continent, but his respect is at a notch higher.

During an interview with Wasafi FM, the fine tuned singer shared:

@Harmonize_tz ana heshima sana, hata kunisalimia ananisalimia tofauti na wasanii wengine, huwa anainama ananishika miguu.

Nampenda sana, hata hapo Jumatatu tuna shoot video.

Dully Sykes reveals that his fellow ¨Kadamshi¨ hitmaker is quite humbled and doesn´t let fame get into his head.

Harmonize ni msanii mkubwa sana, unadhani wasanii wangapi wanatka kufanya nae ngoma lakini ananipa mimi heshima.

Kuweka collabo zetu kwenye You Tube Channel yake ni Makubaliano yetu, anafanya vitu vingi sana.

Further on, the antique choreographer shares that artists including Burna Boy are all over, trying to get a collabo with Harmonize.

@burnaboygram ananitafuta anataka nifanye nae ngoma.

Alimwambia hata @Harmonize wakati walipokutana nae Nigeria.

History

The two youthful bongo artists, Harmonize and Prince Dully Sykes are the voices behind the famous ¨Inde¨ and hit song ¨Kadamshi¨.

Their music videos are undeniably of superior quality as Dully Sykes shows off his ageless dance moves as part of the clips.

¨Inde´s¨ fine threads and fine tunes are a revelation of both good taste and conscious grooming.

Fans fire at Diamond for underpaying artists

Posted on by Gloria Katunge

It is no lie that Diamond Platinumz´ WCB is the finest record label across East and Central Africa with seamless and well choreographed music videos but artists go home empty.

The WCB King has seen artistes attend numerous music tours and concerts across Africa.

Most recent being Harmonize in Tz, Mbosso in Mbeya and Rayvanny in Kenya.

Flashback

However, the record label has been on the wrong side of the light after their former signee, Rich Mavoko excited the record label over underpay allegations.

Mavoko alleged that he has been ¨mistreated¨ at the label and sought to leave.

However, ever since his exit from WCB, his music and name have not hit their peak and is still struggling to reinstate his name.

Reactions

Apparently, Diamond Platnumz boasts being the ¨Best Boss¨but fans are not taking that.

They have actually come out to ridicule the superstar of ¨mistreating¨ artists under his label by underpaying them.

Khaaaaa mwishowe waondoke na pumbu sasa

 

???????????????????? wanajaz watu wenyew had raha lkn wakija kwenye malipo ???????????????????? ajuae ni mavoko

Just recently, we saw Diamond Platinumz´ ¨Inama¨ anthem blatantly expose one of his major signee´s, Harmonize who called out the bongo star as ´disrespectful´.

Posted on by Gloria Katunge

Bongo fashion icon, Jacqueline Wolper who was previously bongo artist, Harmonize´s lover, speaks about her emotional well being if Harmonize proceeds with marriage.

Harmonize and Italian fiancée, Sarah

Harmonize is set to marry his fiancée of Italian descent, Sarah.

The bongo movie actress reveals that she was initially set to wed Harmonize before their breakup and was not made aware of his engagement with Sarah.

Sijazipata habari za Harmonize kumvalisha pete ya uchumba Sara ila ikifanyika ndoa huenda nikapata presha.

Singer, Harmonize and ex, Jacqueline Wolper

Wolper shares that it will definitely put pressure on her, if the marriage between the two is to kick off.

However, it all depends on how the event goes down:

Itatagemea ndoa hiyo itafungwa vipi na yatafanyika mambo gani kama ni ya kuniumiza au ya kawaida kawaida.

This she expresses during the launch of an entertainment spot in Masaki, Dar es Salaam.

Sarah´s proposal

Roughly a month ago, just April, the WCB artist went down on one knee for Sarah while in Rome, Italy, with her family.

The news was shared across media platforms, an event that only family and close friends witnessed.

The duo was more than excited as pretty Sarah said ¨YES¨ to her then 25-year old King.

Wolper & Harmonize

Soon after the world set foot into 2017, Wolper took to social media to publicly call off her relationship with lover, Harmonize.

Further on, she trashed all videos and snaps the two ever took together.

This soon after saw Harmonize bag himself his current Italian model, Sarah.

Harmonize slams Diamond Platnumz after revealing his Italian fiancé had an affair with body guard ‘Mwarabu’

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

Singer Harmonize called out his Wasafi records boss Diamond Platnumz for sharing private information about his fiancé, Sarah Michelloti – on his new song inama featuring Fally Ipupa.

In the song Diamond Platnumz confirms that indeed Wasafi records body guard Mwarabu was fired following an affair he had with Harmonize’s fiancé.

Sarah and Mwarabu

This comes a few months after Mange Kimambi went on to share this information on Instagram; however Harmonize and Sarah denied the claims – only for Diamond Platnumz to confirm that the affair rumors were true in his new hit song.

Harmonize responds

Through his Instagram page Harmonize addressed the issue saying that it was disrespectful of Diamond Platnumz to air out such information.

For a minute he couldn’t believe that his boss went on to affirm that Mwarabu had an affair Sarah who is set to get married to Harmonize soon.

However, there is nothing he can do about this situation especially now that the news is out. He posted to say;

Men who listen to Bongo music, have we lost our masculinity?

Posted on by David Kingsley

Tanzanian music is big in Kenya. This is a fact of life and from the look of things, this will be the case for a long time to come. It’s just what it is.

If you are keen enough, you’ll notice that the top trending songs on YouTube (Kenya) are usually Tanzanian songs. As we speak, Diamond’s latest single dubbed The One is occupying the number one spot.

Before that, Harmonize’s Kainama was trending at number one and before that it was probably another Wasafi song or a song the likes of Aslay, Shetta Juma Jux, Darassa or even Ali Kiba. The point is, the biggest song in Kenya on most occasions is always a Tanzanian song.

There’s no explanation for this other than the fact that musicians from that country are very consistent and then there’s the obvious fact that their music is good. From the videos, to the lyrics down to the beat, everything is always top-notch.

Naturally, if you are a music fan, whether male or female, you’ll find yourself vibing to these songs never mind the fact that they are Bongo songs. Let’s be honest, when a song is good, it’s good there are no two ways about it.

I was recently having a conversation with some friends and I thought I should ask them what their thoughts are on men who listen to Bongo music. My question was driven by the fact that Tanzanian jams are always trending in Kenya.

Some of them claimed they would never listen to such songs. If they did, they would come off as weak men. Others, however, admitted that they listen to Bongo music because the songs are infectious. Incase you were wondering, I fall in the latter category. I listen to Tanzanian songs once in a while. Yup!

Truth is, no music genre is a preserve of a certain gender. It’s just the way the society has shaped our thinking. From a young age, men are taught to be tough while ladies are seen as soft. Perhaps this explains why men are drawn to Hip Hop while ladies are drawn to Bongo music, R&B and what not.

This should not be the case. Men should not feel like they are losing their masculinity because they love Bongo music. It’s totally okay to enjoy music that you feel is good. There’s absolutely no shame in it.

Diamond Platnumz

Allow me to say this again, “No music genre is a preserve of a certain gender.” If you enjoy Bongo music, knock yourself out, it doesn’t make you any  less of a man. And no, I’m not telling you to listen to Tanzanian songs at the expense of Kenyan music.

What are your thoughts on this topic? Feel free to leave a comment below.

Nyashinski totally killed it on this collabo with Yemi Alade and Harmonize

Posted on by David Kingsley

Tanzanian singer Harmonize has been on a roll! Since the year began, Konde Boy, as he fondly refers to himself, has released chart-topping hits such as Niteke, Kainama, Show Me What You Got and Tepete.

However, for one reason or the other, of his four recent releases by, only two songs stand out for many people and that is Show Me What You Got where he featured Yemi Alade and Kainama where he featured Diamond Platnumz and Burna Boy.

Harmonize

Today, we’ll talk about his collabo with Yemi Alade. The audio was released more than 6 weeks ago, while the video just came out a week ago.

It’s a beautiful song. No doubt. As such, it does not come as a surprise that it has been getting good reviews and getting featured on continental playlists.

A few days ago, Harmonize did us one better. He released the remix of Show Me What You Got featuring one of the best continental acts and one of our own – Nyashinki. It’s a good time to be alive, isn’t it?

Nyashinki

If you are thought that the song could not get any better then think again. Nyashinki adds a beautiful vibe to this song that is so hard to describe. You will only feel the difference if you listen to the version of the song where he is not featured.

But then again, we weren’t expecting anything less seeing how talented Nyashinki is. He is one of the few local musicians and who can sing and rap. I digress.

In the song, Nyashinki delivers very
smooth vocals. His lyrics are well thought-out and flow with the instruments.

At some point he says “Uko too fine au ni three fine, you and your cheap wine you must be new I’m good for your, bad for your hair uko cute ukidance underwear.”

And there’s way much more, just listen to the song. You’ll agree with me that he totally killed it. Nyashinki is truly the greatest of all time.

Listen to Show Me What You Got (Remix) below and tell us what you think.

 

Wedding bells! Harmonize finally proposes to his Caucasian girlfriend

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

Wasafi records singer Harmonize is off the market after publicly proposing to his girlfriend Sarah in front of her friends and family.

The two love birds have been together for about 2 years now after Harmonize broke up with Wolper following an unknown disagreement.

Anyway, seems that their relationship was not for social media as the two are now planning to get married anytime from now.

Harmonize and Wolper 

His marriage proposal comes a few weeks after dropping his ‘Niteke’ song which he featured his girlfriend, Sarah.

Wolper and Harmonize

However being the Swahili man he is….Harmonize went to call out his ex Wolper who he had also featured in one of his songs back when they were dating.

Now that he is officially off the market, let’s see if he will tone down from roasting his exes online.

Wambui Katee, the beautiful voice behind viral song covers (Video)

Posted on by David Kingsley

Wambui Katee’s cover of Patoranking’s Suh Different went viral late last year. At the time of publishing this article, the song had 457,132 views on YouTube. That’s no mean feat!

But this does not come as a surprise, the cover was meant to gain traction from the get go. Everything was executed above par. From the instruments, the arrangement, down to her vocals. Nothing was out of place.

Her rendition was so good so much so that many people felt that it was way better than the original. And I agree, this is one of those few cases when a cover is better than the original.

The song’s success has made Wambui more aggressive in doing covers. In the last few months, she has uploaded covers of various songs including; Najua Hutaniacha by Makena, Hazipo by Nandy, Toast by Koffee among others.

All her covers are so well-executed. I’d dare say that she is the Kenyan queen of song covers. I’m sure you are noding your head in agreement.

A few days ago, she uploaded a cover of Harmonize’s Kainama and, as expected, Wambui’s rendition was so good that I had to hit the replay button a couple of times.

Watch it below and tell us what you think.

Drunk with fame! Harmonize’s manager explains why he ditched the ‘Kwangwaru’ singer

Posted on by Martin Oduor

Bongo singer Harmonize and his manager Joel Vincent Joseph alias Mr Puaz have gone their separate ways after years of working together.

For starters, each Wasafi artiste has their individual manager even though Sallam SK Mendez and Babu Tale are the general managers in charge of all WCB artistes.

Harmonize was being managed by Mr Puaz until they recently clashed. The manager was conspicuously missing when the ‘Kwangwaru’ singer performed at Wasafi Festival in Nairobi on December 31st.

Attitude

Mr Puaz worked with Harmonize for a long time, he facilitated the signing up of the singer to Wasafi (Harmonize was the first artiste to be signed by Wasafi).

Harmonize and Mr Puaz
Harmonize and Mr Puaz

Harmonize and Mr Puaz however parted ways because of irreconcilable differences. The manager claims Harmonize is drunk with fame, he says the singer has developed a bad attitude and arrogance and that he could no longer work with him.

“Hapana sio suala la hela, sema tumeshindwa kuelewana kikazi kutokana na ujeuri na kiburi alichonacho Harmonize. Hivyo nikaona bora tuachane kwa amani kila mtu afanye yake,” said Mr Puaz during an interview with Nairobi News.

Clever boy! See how Harmonize is investing his millions

Posted on by Martin Oduor

Harmonize charges $10,000 or Kes 1 million as performance fee. The Bongo singer also earns more money from the sale of his songs.

Just like his mentor and boss Diamond Platnumz, Harmonize has chose to invest his money wisely. The ‘Kwangwaru’ hit make is investing his money on property.

Harmonize is putting up a multistorey building in Madale, Dar es salaam. Photos of the building have widely been shared on social media.

Supervisor

A neighbor told Amani newspaper that Harmonize’s mother supervises the construction of the building. He said that Harmonize’s mother is always present at the construction site, while Harmonize just goes there once in a while.

“Hii nyumba kweli ni ya Harmonize kwa sababu mara nyingi hapa tunamuona mama yake anakuja kuangalia maendeleo yakoje na Harmonize huwa anakuja mara mojamoja nadhani ni kwa sababu ya ubize alionao,” said the neighbor.

 

Tanzanian authorities to punish Harmonize over Kenyan trip? 

Posted on by Martin Oduor

The inaugural Chaget festival flopped terribly after Harmonize who was the main act failed to perform. The Bongo singer refused to show up on stage after organizers failed to pay him full amount as agreed.

Police arrested the CEO of Shado Event Initiative which was behind Hamonize’s failed tour in Eldoret. The CEO, Douglas Obobe Maini, has been arrested by police who are investigating why he didn’t pay the singer who in turn failed to perform in the packed event.

Harmonize came under fire from a section of Kenya who condemned him for failing to perform. Starehe MP Jaguar said that Harmonize should have performed and sorted out the case later because fans had sacrificed a lot to see him.

Basata

There have been claims that Harmonize was facing disciplinary action from Tanzania’s regulatory body – Baraza la Sanaa Taifa (BASATA) for leaving the country to Kenya without a permit.

Basata however refuted the the claim;

“Kuna mtu aliuliza kwamba mna habari kwamba ameondoka? Sisi hatuna habari. Lakini ati tumesema tumemchukulia hatua za kinidhamu? Hapana. Wanasema kwamba ati hakuaga, mtu anaweza kua hakuaga ameenda shughuli zake binafsi na kisha yanayomkiuta hatujui,” said Basata official in a statement to the public.

In July this year, Diamond Platnumz was left counting losses of millions of shillings after Basata barred him from leaving the country for an overseas trip.

Diamond and his team of two managers, Babu Tale and Sallam, were about a flight to Comoros island at Julius Nyerere International Airport in Dar es Salaam when BASATA officers pounced on them cutting short the trip.

Harmonize and his Italian girlfriend Sarah Michelotti have not been seen together for a long time, this is very untypical of the two lovebirds who like to show some PDA on social media.

Rumors have been rife that Harmonize and Sarah’s relationship hit rock bottom because they have not been seen together, and were no longer posting romantic photos on Instagram like they to.

The two have been hit by breakup rumors a number of time. In May this year there were claims that Sarah and Harmonize’s relationship was on the rocks after she cheated on him with Diamond’s former bodyguard Mwarabu Fighter.

He explained that he had been in America for a month and that Sarah had gone back to her native Italy. Harmonize however stressed that they were still dating and are communicating on a regular basis.

“Mimi nilisafiri nilikuwa Marekani mwezi mzima, pia yeye amesafiri yupo Italy, muda kidogo umepita. Nadhani tuko sawa tu, tuko pamoja kila mtu yupo busy. Hivi ni vitu vinavyotokea lakini we are cool we are family, we still a couple. Tunaongea halafu kuna video call sasa,” Harmonize said.

Promoters to be blamed

Harmonize has since apologized to fans who turned up in large numbers at the Eldoret Sports Club Grounds only to be denied the opportunity to watch him perform.

The ‘Kwangwaru’ hit maker explains that he failed to perform because the promoters failed to pay him the full amount as agreed.

“BINAFSI NAJUA KIASI GANI PESA INATAFUTWA KWA UGUMU BUT KWA MAPENZI YENU MLIJITOA KUJA KUNI SUPPORT SIO KWASABABU MIE NI SPECIAL SANA….!!!

Harmonize: I used to be a hawker, even when I started music ilinichukua miaka miwili to create a name for myself

Posted on by Martin Oduor

Bongo sensation Harmonize has opened up about his past which surprisingly is reminiscent of Kenyan rapper Vicmass Luodollar.

Harmonize reveals he used to be a hawker before he ventured into music, just Vicmass Luodollar who used to hawk on the streets of Kisumu before he made it big in music.

In an exclusive interview with Word Is, Harmonize he used to do menial jobs and was almost giving up on life, but his mother kept encouraging him.

“I used to sell water in Tanzania. Even when I started focusing on music bado ilinichukua miaka miwili to create a name for myself. I also worked as a hawker before. At some point, I felt God had not planned I become a musician. There was a time I almost gave up in life, but my mother kept encouraging me to continue pressing on,” said Harmonize.

Mentor

Harmonize is forever grateful to Diamond Platnumz who gave him a platform to realize his music career and also mentored him in his journey in music.

“Diamond has mentored me so much in music and even given me a platform to be heard out there. I know sijafika but God is good sahii. Watu wamenijua and I feel so humbled kusikia watu singing my songs line to line,” said Harmonize.

If a musician has copycats then that’s an indications that they are doing quite well in music. There are at least two musicians in Tanzania who copy Harmonize’s behavior, dressing and even ideas.

Harmorapa and Harmo Junior bear uncanny resemblance to Harmonize, the two always try to catch up with whatever Harmonize is doing even dying their hair just to look like the Wasafi artist.

Previously Harmonize was pissed by the copycats, he once walked out of an interview on EATV after he learnt that Harmorapa was also present at the studio.

Harmonize has since accepted and appreciated his copycats Harmorapa and Harmo Junior. The singer took to Instagram to praise his copycats saying that they motivate him to work harder because he learnt that when he fails those who look up to him will also fail.

“Wenda kawaumbe Binadam wengine kwa mfano wako nikiwa namaana mnafanana ambalo ni jambo la heri na baraka ? so ukikata tamaa nao pia utakuwa umewaangusha jitihadazako, maarifa, kuzishinda changamoto ndio njia peke inaweza kuleta faraja kwa wengi wanao kuzunguka zingatia hili ? #MaishaNiKombolela….!!! God bless my twins brothers ??,” wrote Harmonize in part.
