A video has surfaced of Tanzanian artist Harmonize breaking down in painful tears after learning about the death of President John Pombe Magufuli.
He was perhaps the President’s favorite artist and in 2020, he released a riveting campaign song in praise of CCM and Magufuli.
Harmonize enjoyed a close relationship with the ruling party and President Magufuli. Last year, he composed a song dubbed ‘Magufuli’ praising the president for a job well done.
Later that year, Magufuli asked him to vie for a political seat in his home town, however, he never came out to declare his interest in active politics.
In June last year, during a campaign rally, Pombe invited Diamond Platnumz, Ali Kiba and Harmonize, and while delivering his speech, he asked the three to stand up and urged them to reunite as it was the best thing to do.
“I feel good when I see Ali Kiba seated next to Diamond. When you see Harmonize who left Diamond praising him in public, that’s the unity I want. I thank you so much and thank you for supporting CCM (Chama Cha Mapinduzi)”
Ali Kiba and Diamond Platnumz have been rivals for years and have never at any point seen eye to eye. The beef between the two has seen bongo Flava fans tear into each other online.
Harmonize on the other hand got into Diamond’s bad books when he left his record label WCB to start his own, Konde Gang. The exit process was dramatic and very expensive, and their respective fans caught feelings. They were a force to reckon with when together.
