Tanzanian gospel artist and good songwriter Kibonge Wa Yesu brings Mc Tamba along for a worship record titled “Oluwa.”
The title alone is worth noting. “Oluwa” is a Yoruba word meaning Lord or God – so a Tanzanian gospel artist reaching across to that language for a song title says something about the kind of cross-cultural worship movement happening in East African gospel right now. It is a deliberate choice, not just a catchy word.
Kibonge Wa Yesu has been on the rise since his debut “Ni Yesu” and has not slowed down in 2026. His approach to gospel music is more authenticity than hype and Oluwa is no different. Mc Tamba’s contribution adds another voice to the praise without pulling focus from the message. Both artists keep it clean and focused.
This is the kind of gospel music that works in a church setting just as well as it does on a personal playlist. It does not demand much from the listener – just a willingness to sit with the moment and let the record do what it was made to do.
For gospel lovers in Tanzania and across East Africa, “Oluwa” is worth adding to your worship rotation. Stream it and share your thoughts below!
