WATCH: Zuchu’s new hit Utaniua garners over 1m views hours after release
Tanzanian songbird Zuhura Othman alias Zuchu’s song Utaniua has garnered over one million views hours after she released the video.
The song tells the story of a young lady who wants to be married off to a man whom her father has agreed with and features her boss Diamond Platnumz.
In the video, Zuchu and Diamond are in a romantic relationship with Zuchu telling her lover that she is almost being married off. The message surprises her young lover who makes a quick dash to Zuchu’s home and flees with her.
She sings of how their love began simply as a joke but they got serious with each other.
On the day of her wedding day, she flees leaving her parents distraught. With her soon-to-be-in-laws flocking to their home ready to fetch Zuchu they are informed that she is not there.
Efforts of her father to explain the situation to them fall on deaf ears, and he results in calling her daughter who does not pick up. On the other hand, Diamond and Zuchu travel to the city where they live as husband and wife.
Unknown to them, her father has organised a search for Zuchu. One day they almost bump into each other. The two love birds take some steps back before they are noticed and dress differently masquerading as two men.
When they meet the father and he shows them the photo of her daughter whom he is looking for, the two inform him that they have not seen ‘her.’
However, one day while they are dancing in the rain, her father bumps into them. Zuchu is in utmost shock.
The song’s audio was released in February. Zuchu and Diamond among other WCB artists have been releasing their song’s audio a month or two before they do a video.
