East Africa’s chart-topping sensation Marioo is back—and this time, he’s hitting us right in the feels. His latest single, “TETE,” is a raw, romantic, and rhythm-infused ode to love, released under powerhouse label Bad Nation.

Produced by the iconic S2kizzy and mastered by the legendary Laizer, TETE is a seamless blend of AfroFusion and Bongo Flava, with a melodic nod to Brenda Fassie’s classic “Nakupenda.” The result? A timeless vibe that wraps you in nostalgia while keeping your heart firmly in the present.

“Tete is about that deep kind of love that humbles you,” Marioo shares. “The kind of love where you let your partner guide you—like a child learning how to walk. I wanted to express that pure, beautiful surrender.”

And he’s not just talking the talk—Marioo walks the walk in the stripped-back, beautifully intimate YouTube visualizer featuring his wife, Paulah Kajala. It’s already climbing trends and giving fans all the romantic feels.

“TETE” drops as Marioo tops Boomplay Tanzania’s charts and reigns supreme on Audiomack Tanzania with over 465,000 monthly listeners. There’s no stopping his momentum—Marioo is officially a pan-African music force.

This release follows the massive success of his sophomore album “The Godson”—a genre-bending gem packed with star-studded features:
King Promise (Ghana)
Patoranking (Nigeria)
Bien (Kenya)
Joshua Baraka (Uganda)
Kenny Sol & Element Eleeh (Rwanda)
Harmonize, Alikiba, and new wave Bad Nation star Stans (Tanzania)

With “The Godson,” Marioo proves he’s not just riding the wave—he is the wave.
