Lenna Bahule was a Tanzanian band with Lenna Charles on lead vocals, Bahule Fredrick on guitar, Milton Makala on bass, and George Maganga on drums. They released their debut album 'Na Ku Penda' in 2005, which included the title track that became their most recognizable song. Their discography also included 'Usiponiumiza' in 2007, 'Moyo Wangu' in 2010, and 'Safari ya Maisha' in 2013.
Their music included songs like 'Solomoni', 'Pakeleô', and 'Cumbará Cumbi'. The band's sound featured Charles's vocals over Fredrick's guitar work, with Makala and Maganga providing rhythm. They performed at local events in Tanzania during their active years.
'Na Ku Penda' drew some criticism from those who felt it challenged social norms, though the band maintained it was simply about love. They continued recording despite this response, with 'Safari ya Maisha' including collaborations with other Tanzanian artists.
