The music began in the 2010s, seemingly as a form of imitation, making it difficult to grow during that period, and has taken over the streets of Dar es Salaam and other parts of Tanzania.

It started with a few artists but the one who was most heard was Msaga Sumu who performed with his songs like ‘Naipenda Simba’ and many others that were performed and continue to be performed until now at various festivals in the country. Since the presence of Msaga Sumu in the music, many other artists have now emerged who are doing well enough to make Bongo Flava music a threat in various festivals or events.
