Ibraah, a Tanzanian musician, digs into the enduring power of shared experiences on “Mazoea,” a Bongo Flava and Afro-Pop ballad dropped October 15, 2026. The song is from his 50-track album, 1B (The Other Side of the Face), a project that highlights numerous facets of his life, experiences and musical diversity.
The Swahili title, meaning “Habits” or “Familiarity,” refers to the routines and small moments that might be hard to forget when a relationship changes or ends. In this theme Ibraah explores how emotional attachments can endure even when the situations that formed them have changed.
His full name is Ibrahim Abdallah Nampunga and he is an artist that keeps exploring relationship experiences across 1B. “Mazoea” is a meditation on the shared patterns and memories that influence our attitude to love and separation, and is part of the larger tale of the album.
