Released in 2019, Roma's new tune 'Anaitwa Roma' has captured the attention of fans not only in Tanzania but also in Kenya. The song, which features One Six, is a powerful political statement that speaks to the challenges faced by the people of Tanzania.
With the first approaching Tanzanian elections, Roma asks God to bless the people of Tanzania so that they elect the best leaders. He also talks of the farmers and business people in Tanzania who deliberately refuse to give the opposition votes.
Roma's song is not just a critique of the government, but also a call to action for the people of Tanzania to demand better leadership. He speaks of the tears of the people of Mtwara, which will not let the leaders rest in peace, and says that the people of the country who support the oppressors are already corrupt.
The song also features Roma's signature style of using sarcasm to bring attention to the issues. He talks of a government that has given women voices, but in reality, women do not get to win those seats as they are taken by a few who know the powerful.
With its powerful message and catchy melody, 'Anaitwa Roma' is a must-listen for anyone interested in African music and politics. The song gets a rating of 8/10.
