Mama Tetema was inspired by the popular track, Tetema (2019), by Tanzanian artist Rayvanny feat. Diamond Platnumz.  Maluma heard the song and loved it so much he decided to reach out to Rayvanny via DM on Instagram, and it worked. The two artists connected, Maluma added new lyrics in Spanish and a Reggaeton beat, and the result is this hot new fusion, Mama Tetema.

The single written by Maluma, Rayvanny and Diamond Platnumz; produced by Salmin Kasimu Maengo “S2Kizzy” and recorded by The Rude Boyz.

The track’s video, by renowned director Jessy Terrero, with Rayvanny in Africa, and Maluma in the United States, perfectly captures the feel of Mama Tetema. It is diverse, fresh, sexy and fun, featuring that tetema shake/dance. To watch it, click here.
