Tanzanian sensation Platform is set to conquer new horizons with the release of the highly anticipated Latin remix of his chart-topping single “Ananipenda” featuring Peipper, Gino Mella, Soge Culebra, and Marioo. Known for his sweet and soulful vocals and captivating melodies, Platform has established himself as one of East Africa’s rising stars, and was selected as Apple Music’s Up Next artist of the month in August alongside his debut EP Above & Beyond.
Put together by label partners Africori and Abbah Music Group in collaboration with Warner Music LATAM, the remix marks Platform’s first foray into the international market, joining forces with a stellar lineup of Latin artists in a Swahili and Spanish fusion of afropop and reggaeton that promises to be a global sensation. The remix features three of the Latin music world’s biggest names; Peipper from Argentina, Gino Mella from Chile, Soge Culebra from Spain, and Tanzanian superstar Marioo.
The original record “Ananipenda” featuring Marioo captured the hearts of fans across the world, racking up over 13 million streams, 200 million plays on Tiktok, and 300 million plays on Instagram, all achieved without an official music video. Fans were given an exclusive pre-tease by Peipper on Instagram with this video.
Peipper, Gino Mella, Soge Culebra, and Marioo each bring their unique style to the remix, creating a sonic masterpiece that seamlessly blends East African and Latin vibes. The result is a danceable, feel-good anthem that transcends language barriers and invites listeners to immerse themselves in the universal language of music. This collaboration highlights the power of music to connect people from different corners of the world and celebrate the richness of diverse musical landscapes.
In addition to his chart-topping success, Platform’s single “Ananipenda” has been featured on ten playlists on Spotify, including African Heat, Flow Al Sur, Novedades Viernes Cono Sur (New Music Friday Southern Cone – Argentina, Chile, Uruguay), Buen Vibe, and the cover of Bongo Flava. The track has also found its place on six playlists on Apple Music, including Africa Rising and Afro Fusion. Furthermore, Platform has secured the #1 position on Audiomack’s Afro Connect playlist, a testament to his global influence and recognition for outstanding African collaborations.
