Tanzanian Singeli artist Misso Misondo teams up with DJ Chenga on a fresh high-energy release titled “Buku Jero,” adding another fast-paced entry to his 2026 catalogue.
The title shares its name with Mbosso’s Bongo Flava record of the same name – but the two songs live in completely different worlds. Where Mbosso’s version draws from Tanzanian street slang for TZS 1,500 and takes a smooth melodic approach, Misso Misondo and DJ Chenga arrive with the rapid Singeli framework that has always been their home. So the energy here is a world apart.
DJ Chenga brings his DJ expertise into the collaboration rather than just lending his name. The production stays true to Singeli’s fast-paced percussion DNA – tight rhythmic sequences and aggressive drum patterns pushing the track forward at full speed from the opening bar.
The collaboration also fits naturally within Misso Misondo’s wider 2026 run. From “Mbali Na Nyumbani” to “Tatizo Pesa” with Dizompa Mr Killer, he has been releasing consistently across different emotional registers. But “Buku Jero” with DJ Chenga returns him to his most energetic lane – street Singeli with no apology and no slowing down.
For East African music fans who follow Tanzania’s Singeli scene closely and track artists delivering new material at a consistent pace, Misso Misondo remains one of the most reliable voices in that space right now.
