Sister Slave - Sweet Mango Tree

For all those followers of the Ugandan Diva Sister Slave here is another enticingly hot track, it's mellow and I just love those guitar riffs.

Sister Slave has been blazing a trail on the East African music scene for sometime now and is  fast making a name for herself as a versatile performer, she was recognised as one of the 1st female performers to do Dancehall back in the late 1990s and has since branched out to drop hits in other genre's such as Afrobeat and Dancehall with great hit songs like Wickedest , Hit and Run and 
 Angel Malayika. 

 She was nominated last year for the Best Album Of The Year Award by the Eco Media News Awards a UK based media organisation which annually recognises the best achievers in the East African Entertainment Industry and with this new hit it's only a matter of time before she really starts to fly.
