Diamond Platnumz

Have you ever wondered what type of music is popular in East Africa? Then look no further – this year one of the greatest artist from that area comes to Stockholm – the one and only Diamond Platnumz.

Diamond Platnumz is not only Tanzania’s best-selling artist, but one of the biggest musicians in East Africa. Or how about over a billion views on YouTube? With his updated version of the bongo flava, he is conquering the rest of the world and now his turn has come to Sweden. On Saturday 23 July, Diamond Platnumz is coming to Berns to give a long-awaited concert.

Some life stories have cinematic qualities. Like Diamond Platnumz. The journey from the slums of Dar es Salaam to becoming both Tanzania’s and one of the entire continent’s most appreciated artists is nothing short of inspiring. Bongo flava, the Tanzanian genre that blends traditional dansi with everything from Afrobeat to reggae, R&B and hip-hop, has been his bedrock. Lately, however, Diamond Platnumz has been expanding his musical horizons. The lyrics, previously sung exclusively in Swahili, are now more often in English and the music is perhaps best described as Afropop. What remains, however, is the sensual suppleness, the soulful swing and the palpable pride in the culture of their homeland.

The fine debut album ‘Kawambie’ came in 2013 but it was with the third, super-acclaimed ‘A Boy From Tandale’ that Diamond Platnumz reached the wider masses. And with songs like ‘African Beauty’, ‘Marry You’ and ‘Nana’, it’s not hard to see why. Now Diamond Platnumz are on a roll with their new album ‘First Of All’, where the single ‘Melody’, sung with Jaywillz, is the flagship track. Don’t miss out when the pride of Tanzania comes to Berns on Saturday 23 July!
