Published on September 5, 2019, Aslay and Ali Kiba's new collaboration, Bembea, is a sizzling blend of Swahili beats with modern snares and 808 drumkits.
The song starts off with Aslay expressing his desire to make his haters jealous and give them a reason to get angry at their love. This theme is not new in Tanzania, but it's a testament to the duo's ability to create music that resonates with their audience.
Ali Kiba then takes the stage, sweet-talking his lady love into giving him her passion. He also makes a point to tell her to ignore the naysayers and gossip mongers, a message that is especially relevant given the recent reports of his wife's emotional trauma.
