Tanzania’s Bad Nation frontman Marioo reaches across the border on track 4 of his MMMCXII EP, linking up with Kenyan Afro-fusion star Sofiya Nzau on “UA (Flower).”
“UA” means “Flower” in Swahili, and Marioo uses that image to paint one of the most poetic love records on the entire EP.
Producer BLVCQ builds a sound that blends Marioo’s melodic Bongo Flava style with Sofiya Nzau’s folk-infused Afro-house vocal identity. That East African fusion gives the record a unique texture that travels easily across regional audiences.
Sofiya Nzau’s Kikuyu-influenced delivery adds a dimension Marioo could not have achieved alone. Together, the two create something genuinely memorable.
