Tanzanian singer, Zuchu, is over the moon after her hit single “Sukari” made history as the first song in East Africa to garner over 100 million views on YouTube.
Zuchu who is Diamond Platnumz Wasafi Record signee, also etched her name in the annals of East African music history by becoming the first solo artist from the region to achieve that feat.
The singing sensation who also celebrated her milestone, took to her social media platforms to express her gratitude and acknowledge the team behind the masterpiece.
Reminiscing on the transformative power of “Sukari,” she said the song not only changed her life but also carved a significant mark in the East African music industry.
Writing in her local Swahili dialect, Zuchu said:
“Viewers Milioni 100,000,000 Za Sukari zinanifanya Kua msanii Wa Kwanza kutoka East Africa Kufika Mafanikio Haya Kwenye Wimbo wa peke yangu.”
She also didn’t miss the opportunity to thank her loyal fans, particularly singling out one named Milly, whom she credited for contributing to the success of the project.
“To my family thank you so much haya ni mafanikio yetu wote tuliowezesha ukubwa wa hii project, I appreciate you,” she expressed with heartfelt appreciation.
Diamond Platnumz, himself a Tanzanian music mogul and Zuchu’s mentor, also celebrated her while emphasizing the significance of achieving such a feat with a song that’s 100 per cent Swahili and without any feature.
“When you look with the eye, you’d think it’s a normal thing, but when you try to do it, you’ll know how heavy it is,” Diamond remarked.
Zuchu is among the top female artists in the eastern African region with 3.2 million YouTube subsribers with hit tracks like “Honey”, “Kwikwi”, “Utaniua”, among others, to her name.
