Harmonize links up with Congolese-French singer Ya Levis on a brand new record called “I Do.” These two melodic forces have never worked together before, yet the pairing feels entirely natural from the opening notes.
The song lands as track six on Harmonize’s sixth studio album, “31,” and it carries a texture unlike anything else on that project. Ya Levis steps into the Bongo Flava framework with his smooth vocal style, pulling in flavours of Congolese Rumba, Zouk, and Soukous along the way. Harmonize matches that energy with his own melodic delivery, and both singers operate comfortably in a romantic, commitment-driven lane that suits the title perfectly.
Harmonize, born Rajab Abdul Kahali in Mtwara, Tanzania, has become one of East Africa’s most prominent voices. After departing WCB Wasafi in 2019, he established Konde Music Worldwide and has released several projects under that imprint since then. His reach now extends across the continent, and this collaboration pushes that boundary even further.
The vocal chemistry here is the real story. Neither artist tries to overpower the other; instead, they trade lines and harmonies that build a warm, intimate atmosphere. That natural fit also opens doors for Harmonize into French-speaking markets where Bongo Flava rarely travels directly.
This is a pairing that proves the power of cross-continental musical conversation. Stream “I Do” and share your thoughts in the comment section below.
