Tanzanian Artist Harmonize Frustrated Over Song Removals from YouTube

Tanzanian artist Harmonize, known for his captivating tracks and vibrant performances, has recently voiced his frustrations regarding persistent issues with his YouTube channel. The renowned musician, whose real name is Harmonize Kondo, has accused certain individuals of sabotaging his content by having his songs removed from the platform.

In a candid statement aimed at promoting his latest track, Harmonize expressed his dismay over the mysterious disappearance of his songs. “My YouTube channel is acting up. I’m not sure if someone is messing with it; songs are being taken down unusually, but it’s all good! Enjoy the music—there’s another music video coming out today. Dem been playing very funny games,” he shared, reflecting his frustration and determination to continue producing music despite the setbacks.

This recent incident is not an isolated case. A few weeks ago, Harmonize’s new release, ‘Sherehe,’ faced a similar issue when it was taken down from YouTube. The Konde Music Worldwide founder took to Instagram to raise concerns, alleging that a Kenyan artist was behind the removal. Harmonize’s accusations have reignited discussions around the challenges artists face with digital content management and copyright issues.

Harmonize’s grievances highlight a recurring problem he’s experienced over time. He noted, “This is not the first time! Whenever a song starts gaining traction, it gets taken down on YouTube. Several times, our investigations reveal that someone claiming to be from Kenya is behind it.” His complaints point to a troubling pattern where his popular songs are being targeted, often following complaints from an individual or entity claiming Kenyan affiliation.

The artist’s frustrations are compounded by the fact that such issues disrupt his promotional activities. Harmonize recalled a similar incident with his 2020 release, ‘UNO,’ which was also removed from YouTube. At that time, the removal was attributed to a producer who falsely claimed ownership of the track. The producer later publicly apologized after realizing the error.

In his recent statement, Harmonize addressed his fans directly, “What I know is that Kenyans love and support Konde Boy a lot! From Day 1, we’ve always been together. Pray for Kenya.” His comments underscore the strong bond he feels with his Kenyan fans and his appreciation for their support despite the ongoing challenges. He also acknowledged the efforts of his team, who are working diligently to resolve the current issues and ensure that his latest video is released as planned.

Harmonize’s experience sheds light on broader issues within the music industry, particularly concerning copyright disputes and the manipulation of digital platforms. The case highlights the complexities artists face in protecting their intellectual property and the impact that such disruptions can have on their careers.

Despite these obstacles, Harmonize remains committed to his craft. He reassured his fans, “Sorry to all Kondegang members, the team is working hard to address this issue before the video is released! There’s nothing we can do; I’m sure he is still a big fan, and I interpret this as another form of love.” His resilience and positive outlook reflect his dedication to his music and his fans.
