Tanzanian singer-songwriter Appy—celebrated for her seamless blend of Afrobeat and R&B—joins forces with the multi-talented Kontawa (Abdu Hamid Said) on the inspiring new single “Mdogo Mdogo.”
RELATED; Appy – Mary Jane Ft Baddest 47
Swahili for “little by little,” the track champions steady perseverance. Over pulsing rhythms, the lyrics paint the life of a tireless hustler: every plan feels as futile as “pouring water into a basket,” loved ones doubt, and romance fades without flashy status. Yet the resolve never wavers. Each chorus declares, “Ntafika mdogo mdogo—bado kidogo” (“I’ll get there little by little—just a bit further”), turning struggle into motivation.
“Mdogo Mdogo” is more than a song; it’s a rallying cry for anyone grinding toward their dreams. Press play and let Appy and Kontawa remind you that progress, however slow, is still progress.
