Tamthilia ya Empire iliyojikusanyia mashabiki wengi duniani, Jumatano iliyopita ilirejea tena katika msimu wake wa tatu.
Katika msimu huo, muimbaji wa Tanzania aishiye Marekani, Koku Gonza
ameshiriki. Koku anaonekana kwenye scene moja akimfundisha Hakeem
kucheza piano.
Mfahamu zaidi kwa historia yake hapo chini.

stage with an eclectic range of her influences. She has opened for Saul
Williams, Roy Ayers, Anthony David, Yahzarah, Eric Roberson to name a
few. As an Indie artist, Koku Gonza composed,arranged and performed all
vocals, as well as played the guitar on all of her albums. Her song,
L.O.V.E. serves as the lead single from her studio album Radiozophrenic
released in 2011. L.O.V.E. debuted on BET International, Channel O, and
other media outlets that feature breakout artists. In July 2012, Koku
Gonza completed her first music tour in France. She performed in 11
cities in Southern France, and received rave reviews from various French
media outlets like
Koku Gonza’s music has been compared to the late legends Bob Marley and
Mama Africa-Miriam Makeba as contemporary artists like Sade, Corrine Rae
Bailey and Lianne La Havas. Koku Gonza’s music is parallel to the
translation of her Kihaya name, which means lovely. She applies love,
soul and passion into the ingredients of her genre-defiant pallet in new
project Love Culture. Recently she released her latest single and music
video for her song Clearest Sky. Clearest Sky is from her self-produced
album Love Culture. Love Culture features international jazz bassist
and composer Lonnie Plaxico and other great musicians on her
self-produced indie project.
