Kenyan-based artist DML 002 teams up with Tanzanian Bongo Flava singer Ibraah on “Wawili.” Released on September 10, 2026, the Afrosounds record explores the closeness and exclusivity that come with genuine love.
The Swahili title “Wawili” translates to “The Two of Us,” reflecting the song’s central idea that true love belongs to two people. DML 002 builds around the message of “mapenzi ni ya wawili” while delivering the track with a smooth and melodic approach.
DML 002 brings a coastal Kenyan influence to the collaboration, while Ibraah adds his familiar Bongo Flava vocal style. Their different musical backgrounds come together naturally, creating a cross-border record that connects the Kenyan and Tanzanian scenes through Swahili music.
With its relaxed production and romantic theme, “Wawili” gives both artists space to express the beauty of staying committed to one person. The collaboration further shows how East African artists continue to connect different sounds and audiences across the region.
