Rising Tanzanian star Malaika Mfalme is taking over the airwaves and they didn’t come to play!
Teaming up with UK’s own Ayo Beatz, the multi-talented rapper and producer, the two cooked up something special: a fiery new single titled “Twende Dada,” which translates to “Let’s Go, Sis!” in Swahili.
Now, this ain’t just another feel-good track, it’s a full-on cultural moment. The duo’s collaboration fuses Tanzania’s signature Bongo Flava sound with Afrobeats, Hip Hop, and Amapiano, proving that Black music stays global, unstoppable, and always evolving.
“Twende Dada” is rooted in Twin Love, Malaika and twin sister Ria Adele’s deep connection, their love of the Swahili mother tongue, and the rhythm of the diaspora.
And it shows. Produced by Ayo Beatz himself, the track slides from hypnotic drums to smooth bars with that signature UK polish. It’s a great fusion that merges British Rap energy with East African soul, pushing Bongo Flava into brand-new territory.
A Celebration of Twinhood and African Excellence
The single is more than just a vibe it’s a love letter to Malaika’s twin sister, Ria Adele, who also stars in the “Twende Dada” music video. The two light up the screen, channeling an African Avant-Garde aesthetic that feels regal, radiant, and refreshingly modern.
As Malaika steps into a new era of sound, their confidence is undeniable. She mixes her soulful East African roots with Ayo Beatz’s rhythm-heavy flow, crafting a song that feels both deeply personal and proudly global.
Distributed by TikTok, “Twende Dada” is already making waves across continents. The track sits perfectly at the intersection of Afrobeats heat and Bongo Flava soul, setting the stage for what could easily be one of the biggest crossover anthems of the year.
Adding to the exciting news, The video has already premiered on MTV BASE and will be included on BET U.K New Music today!
From Dar es Salaam to London, from the streets to the screen, Malaika Mfalme and Ayo Beatz are proving that the next generation of Black artists isn’t waiting for permission, they’re rewriting the soundtrack of global culture.
With its infectious hook and empowering message, “Twende Dada” isn’t just music. It’s a movement, one that says: Let’s go, sis!
