When you talk of Afro-fusion music in Tanzania and leave out Carola's name you will be doing a great injustice. The songstress is one of the great musicians around who maintain a low profile. She spoke to Erick Mchome about herself.

Where were you born? I am a Maasai born in I.ongido in Arusha.

Are you married? Yes, to a fellow'litnzanian and we have two kids.

Where exactly do you live? I am based at Kinondoni in Dar es Salaam.

How many countries have you visitedsofar? Music has taken me to more than 10 countries.

How do you manage to keep your voice? I do not really take care of it, as I smoke but it is natural and am proud of it.

Who would you like to feature in your music? I prefer those not yet recognised like Anania Ngoliga (Tanzania) while in South Africa, I would go for a woman called Letambulu.

What can't you live without? My children; they are so precious to me.
