Dulla Makabila and Zaiylissa link up on a fresh new record called “Mapenzi Yasakwe.” It is a melodic love song, and both voices carry it from the first line.
The track centres on love and relationships, plus the feelings that usually follow them. Details around the release stay light, however. There is no confirmed producer or writing credit attached to it yet. So fans take the song as it comes for now.
Dulla Makabila has built his name in Tanzania as a singer and songwriter. He also sits at the forefront of the singeli scene, and his run keeps moving. Chimamy’s “Unajua” featured him on the Singeli City EP. Zaiylissa arrives here with her own vocal presence, and her tone sits well beside his.
What stands out most is the delivery. Dulla Makabila stretches his lines instead of rushing them, while Zaiylissa answers him with a softer touch. The pairing leans melodic rather than hard-hitting, and that choice fits the subject matter. Besides, the song never feels crowded by two artists.
