Tay Grin’s new single ‘Tola’ beamed on Trace Africa on Monday.
The music video, which was released Monday, was shot in South Africa,
The song, which features Tanzanian song stress, Vanessa Mdee, was produced by Malawian producer Sonyezo and was directed by Nigeria’s Sesan Ogunro—one of Africa’s greatest video directors.
“It’s an A list team on this project. It was fire all over in the studio as we made the audio, fire as we made the video and now it’s that time we unleash that fire. 2017 is fire everywhere. We are taking Malawi to the world in HD,” Tay Grin said.
Tay Grin and Vee Money teamed up on the first day of this year to record ‘Tola’ when the Tanzanian vocalist was in Malawi for the New Year’s Party in Lilongwe on December 31. The party was organised by Black Rhyno Entertainment.
