Obby Alpha emerges as Tanzania’s musical griot of grace, spinning gospel truth into Swahili storytelling gold. His voice carries the warmth of fireside testimony blended with studio-honed precision, creating worship that feels both intimately handmade and cosmically grand. Through songs like this, he continues to turn personal redemption into collective anthem.

Hadithi (The Story) is a musical Luke 8:39 where Obby’s conversational flow recounts transformation so radical it demands telling. The song’s Afrobeat-infused rhythm mimics a heartbeat quickened by good news, its lyrics “Niliyekuwa sipo, sasa nipo” (I who was lost, am now found) unfolding like a scroll of mercy. The bridge’s key change doesn’t climax but accelerates – as if the singer can’t contain the ending because his story keeps getting better daily. This isn’t performance but infectious invitation to join the “ilisemwaje?” (how was it?) call-and-response of heaven’s favorite narrative.
