Multiple award-winning Tanzanian singer Nandy returns with a fresh, infectious amapiano banger titled “Tonge Nyama”, featuring fellow East African star Mario. Already setting dance floors ablaze, the song brings an irresistible mix of rhythm, flirtation, and African groove.
“Tonge Nyama”, a playful Swahili phrase meaning “touch meat”, is street slang often used in a flirty, cheeky way. In this track, Nandy transforms the phrase into a dance-floor anthem blending sensual lyricism with the hypnotic pulse of amapiano.
Produced with vibrant log drums, deep basslines, and an unforgettable hook, the track celebrates attraction, connection, and the joy of movement. Nandy’s sultry vocals, paired with Mario’s smooth delivery, create the perfect East-meets-South African club energy.
Nandy, also known as The African Princess, has built a reputation for fusing Tanzanian melodies with global sounds, earning her a loyal fanbase across the continent. Speaking about the release, she said:
“‘Tonge Nyama’ is fun, sexy, and unapologetically African. Amapiano belongs to all of us now, and I wanted to bring my own spice to it.”
With amapiano continuing to dominate dance floors worldwide, “Tonge Nyama” is poised to become a party favourite from East Africa to beyond.
