Renowned Grammy-winning artist Tyla has set Zimbabwean social media abuzz with her recent TikTok video, where she showcased her vocal prowess by singing along to Mark Ngwazi’s sensational hit, Taurai Madzoka.
Earground Africa, on both Facebook and X, reposted Tyla’s TikTok, capturing the South African songstress immersing herself in the lyrics of Mark Ngwazi’s compelling track.
Released in December 2020, Taurai Madzoka by Zimbabwean sungura artist Mark Ngwazi took the social media platform TikTok by storm.
