On the other hand, he asserted Bien ticked off everything on the list on what a great performer should do.
Godlove was so impressed with Bien’s performance and sang his praises for all and sundry.
Bien is the blueprint
The Chief was pleased by the delightful manner in which Bien commanded and addressed the crowd, as well as the quality of his show .
He said: “Bien’s artistry is what Tanzanians should learn from.
He further jokingly offered to pay Kenya so that they could give up Bien.
His remarks sparked a debate among music lovers. Some agreed with him, saying that Tanzanian artists need to improve their performances on international stages.
Others felt that he was too harsh and that Tanzanian musicians are doing their best.
However, most people found his joke about “buying” Bien amusing.
However this has left many wondering:
Should Tanzanian artists take this as a wake-up call? Should they put more effort into their performances and stage presence?
