Earlier this month, Tanzanian superstar Diamond Platnumz signed a massive deal with Warner Music South Africa which would help introduce his music to more people around the world than ever before and now, the star has dropped his first release with the record – a sexy, dancefloor jam titled ‘Kamata’.
‘Kamata’ is an eastern influenced grungy, bass heavy take on East Africa’s Bongo Flava. Diamond Platnumz is the master purveyor of the genre, and with a break-beat that will have your hips involuntarily swaying and your feet consumed by the dance floor, ‘Kamata’ is sure to become an a massive hit.
The accompanying video is a raunchy, waist-winding visual, that captures the essence of Bongo Flava, and on here the Diamond proves he is a cut above the rest.
“With so much tension and despond people on the continent and the world at large, I think as artists we can still bring a different lens for audiences to see the world, even if just to dance for a moment,” Diamond Platnumz says. “I wanted to release a single that’s light hearted and reminds people that there’s always an opportunity to dance.”
