“Asalaam aleykum Mama,” Bob Junior said. “I am a new generation artist going through a very difficult challenge of an eye problem. I have undergone an operation but have not recovered, and I am also dealing with a heart condition. I want to go to India for treatment, but my financial situation is not very good. I ask for your help, Mama. May Allah bless you greatly.”
The celebrated singer and producer, who rose to fame through his hit tracks “Sukura Yangu Tamu,” “Andazi,” and “Besantasi,” recorded under Sharobaro Records, has been a household name in the Tanzanian music scene for over a decade.
