Swahili weddings are always known to be lovely thanks to the pomp and colour that are synonymous with them.
The weddings always follow strict cultural traditions which dictate the manner of dressing, and generally how everything is conducted.
After the traditional bit is done, a couple is free to have a ceremony where they can engage with their friends and loved ones.

Such ceremonies call for good music. This article looks at 5 Bongo songs you can use to light up your Swahili or any other wedding you choose to have.
1. Iyena – Diamond Platnumz ft Rayvanny
‘Iyena’ is a beautiful wedding song clearly depicted in the visuals as the duo feature Diamond’s ex Zari Hassan. The song highlights the events of a wedding that starts out with the Islamic wedding celebration, after which the bride dons a white gown for her reception. The whole song has a beautiful vibe to it and should be one of the jams on your wedding playlist.

3. Utarudi- Chege ft Maka Voice and Mau Sama
Done a year ago, Chege, Maka voice and Maua Sama bring out the beauty of marriage. In what seems like a reception kind of music, the trio reminds the couple that once they are together, they bound for life. It is the kind of music you would dance to both at the procession and at the reception.

This beautiful track would be good for a procession at a wedding. The calmness of this sound makes you fall in love with it.
5. Washa- Karen
