Just a day ago, T-Series dropped this fiery Afrobeat-meets-desi collab, pairing Bollywood's dance powerhouse Nora Fatehi with Tanzanian hitmaker Rayvanny.

Who is Rayvanny?

Rayvanny, born Raymond Shaban Mwakyusa, is one of Tanzania’s biggest musicians and a global face of Bongo Flava, the country’s signature blend of Afrobeat, reggae, and hip-hop.

He’s no stranger to international attention either. In 2023, he earned a Grammy nomination in the Best Latin Pop Album category for his collaboration with Colombian superstar Maluma on 'Mama Tetema', a reimagined version of his original track with Diamond Platnumz, produced by S2Kizzy. That collab later appeared on Maluma’s album 'Don Juan'.

Known for his smooth vocals, catchy hooks, and seamless cross-genre versatility, Rayvanny is quickly becoming the go-to name for global fusion hits.

Directed and choreographed by Bosco Leslie Martis, Oh Mama! Tetema is a visual and sonic feast. Nora Fatehi, known for setting the screen on fire with her dance moves, not only grooves to the beat but also surprises fans by lending her voice to the song.

Alongside her, powerhouse singer Shreya Ghoshal brings soulful magic, while Rayvanny's dynamic Afrobeat flair ties it all together. The track, composed by Rayvanny and Vishal Mishra, features lyrics written by Rayvanny, Vishal Mishra, Nora Fatehi, and The Plugz Europe.
