‘Mama’ is a tribute to all the strong women who shape our lives especially our mothers, who give so much without asking for anything in return,” Marioo said in a recent interview. “I wanted this song to be something that people can feel deeply, no matter where they come from.
Marioo’s rise to fame has been nothing short of meteoric. From chart-topping singles like “Dear Ex” and “Mi Amor” to cross-border collaborations that have taken the Tanzanian sound global, he continues to prove that he is more than just a Bongo Flava artist, he’s a visionary.
In “Mama,” Marioo fuses Swahili lyrics with international production quality, reflecting his commitment to creating music that bridges cultures. The emotional tone of the song, combined with a soulful melody and high-quality visuals, makes it a standout addition to his discography.
The accompanying music video for “Mama” is already generating buzz for its stunning visuals and emotional storytelling. Directed by a top-tier East African creative team, the video features scenes that evoke the universal bond between mother and child. From the vibrant streets of Dar es Salaam to tender family moments, the visuals complement the song’s message beautifully.
