Matonya born Seif Shaban, is a bongo flava musician from Tanzania. He is from Tanga region and is the second child in a family of four.
The Bongo star Matonya was once the top earning artiste in East Africa back in the day.
After releasing a series of Songs such as Vaileti, Anita and Taxi Bubu that made him famous, the talented singer is no longer active and is said to be languishing in poverty.
He became a household name in Tanzania in 2006, when his hit single ‘Vaileti’ was one of the most played songs in Tanzania. His other hit songs include; Anita and Taxi Bubu among others.
He faded so fast. Pictures of the Vaileti hit maker in a rather sorry state have surfaced online with his situation being attributed to over drinking.
Bongo flava artiste Matonya, who has been hibernating in Kenya for about three months, has refuted claims that he relocated to the country to avoid prosecution on drugs related charges back home in Tanzania.
The flamboyant musician, who a few years ago was a force to reckon with in East Africa with chart topping hits such as Vaileti, Anita and Spare Tai, has denied the allegations terming them as mere rumors fabricated by his haters whose intention is to damage his image.
