Zuhura Othman Soud, professionally known as Zuchu, is a Tanzanian singer, songwriter, and the reigning queen of Bongo Flava. The daughter of the legendary Taarab musician Khadija Kopa, Zuchu was introduced to the public in April 2020 as a signee of Diamond Platnumz’s WCB Wasafi label. Her rise was meteoric and unprecedented; within months, she broke virtually every streaming record for a female artist in East Africa. Zuchu masterfully blends traditional Zanzibari Taarab melodies with modern urban pop, creating a distinct sonic identity ("Sukari," "Mwambieni"). She became the first female artist in Sub-Saharan Africa to hit 1 million YouTube subscribers within a year. Her massive success has been intertwined with intense public speculation and eventual confirmation of her romantic relationship with her label boss, Diamond Platnumz, making them East Africa’s preeminent celebrity power couple.
