Tanzanian gospel singer Kechu Jackson joins celebrated Bongo Flava vocalist Barnaba on “Gusa,” a collaborative release that brings together two different musical backgrounds.
Released on November 11, 2026, the song takes a worship-focused direction, exploring the desire for a closer connection with God during difficult moments. Its message centres on faith, reassurance and finding strength when life becomes challenging.
Kechu Jackson leads the recording with an emotional vocal performance, while Barnaba adds his familiar melodic touch. Their voices complement each other, giving the song a reflective atmosphere that suits its spiritual message.
Rather than relying on an elaborate musical arrangement, “Gusa” keeps the focus on the vocals and the message behind the lyrics. The steady instrumental gradually develops, allowing both singers to express the emotions behind the recording.
Barnaba is widely recognised for his contribution to Tanzania’s music industry, particularly through romantic Bongo Flava songs. His appearance on this gospel-inspired recording offers listeners an opportunity to hear him in a different musical setting.
Kechu Jackson also gets an opportunity to introduce his music to a wider audience through this collaboration. Bringing Barnaba onto the song adds another dimension to the release, especially for listeners familiar with his vocal style.
“Gusa” is available on digital music platforms and also comes with an official lyrics video for listeners who want to follow the message more closely.
For fans of Tanzanian gospel music, this collaboration offers a refreshing combination of worship and melodic African sounds.
