The event, attended by French President Emmanuel Macron and Kenyan President William Ruto, saw the pair deliver N&#8217;Dour&#8217;s 1992 hit \u201c7 Seconds.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cFor a long time, it was just marketing, marketing, selling,\u201d Mosha said of Chams&#8217; rise. \u201cNow people understand who she is. We have everything in place. Now we&#8217;re moving.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Weeks earlier, Mosha was in Nairobi for another Sony artist, <strong>Nyashinski<\/strong>, whose Showman Residency, a seven-show run blending music, theatre, and dance, drew more than 11,000 people. Together, the moments illustrate Mosha&#8217;s dual focus: elevating East African talent while building the systems that enable it to travel.<\/p>\n<h2>A Career Forged by Ambition<\/h2>\n<p>A Tanzanian native, Mosha describes herself as the only senior manager at a major label from East Africa, male or female. Her path included radio presenting at MTV Base, launching her own label, and managing Tanzania&#8217;s <strong>Ali Kiba<\/strong> as he became one of the region&#8217;s biggest stars. Sony approached her while she was rethinking her next move, and when the company outlined the territories she would oversee, she asked to add the Democratic Republic of Congo and Ethiopia.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cOne of the things that I&#8217;m known for is my ambition,\u201d she said. \u201cI am incredibly ambitious, and I set certain goals, and I tend to achieve them.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>At Sony Music East Africa, Mosha signs artists from across the region and connects them to the company&#8217;s global infrastructure, which spans labels including Columbia, Epic, RCA, Legacy, Masterworks, Sony Music Latin, and Sony Music Nashville, with rosters that feature Beyonc\u00e9, SZA, Tyla, Doja Cat, Harry Styles, and Tame Impala. Her role also involves developing the markets themselves, aligning a major-label framework with local industries that do not always fit neatly into existing structures.<\/p>\n<h2>The Case for Structure and Cultural Definition<\/h2>\n<p>Asked what East Africa most needed from a major label, Mosha answered with a single word: \u201cstructure.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWhat has to complement that structure is culture,\u201d she added. \u201cWhen the music is right, the culture is defined, and the structure is there, everything aligns\u2026 the infrastructure, the investment, the economy. At that point, there is a product that is well understood and consumed.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Mosha argues that East Africa&#8217;s challenge is a lack of definition. Too much of the region&#8217;s musical identity, she suggests, has not been clearly named, documented, or explained to the rest of the world. She points to Tanzania&#8217;s <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Bongo_flava\">bongo flava<\/a><\/strong> as an example.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cIf I asked you what bongo flava is, you probably wouldn&#8217;t have a straight answer,\u201d Mosha said. \u201cWhen did it start? What defines it? What kind of instrumentation does it use? It has not been documented. That information has never really been put out there before.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In her view, music is harder to market, explain, and export when its story has not been clearly told. East Africa cannot fully break through, she says, unless it first explains itself to the world.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cOur story needs to be out there,\u201d she said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Christine &#8216;Seven&#8217; Mosha, Head of Sony Music East Africa, outlines her strategy for building artists and defining the
