Nora Fatehi is back with a new summer track – “Oh Mama! Tetema” with Tanzanian singer Rayvanny. The song (released by T-Series) blends Afro-Bongo beats with Bollywood-style music. It also features the soulful voice of Shreya Ghoshal, creating a mix of Hindi, English, and Swahili lyrics. The aim is to bring together African rhythms and Indian melodies in a single track.
The music video was teased earlier by Nora with an Afro-inspired poster, which shows her in bold outfits and high-energy dance moves. Rayvanny adds his signature African groove, while Shreya’s smooth voice softens the overall sound. The song is written by Nora Fatehi, Rayvanny, Vishal Mishra, and The Plugz Europe. This makes it a multi-artist collaboration with a global touch.
