Abstract This article has examined the issue of the fall of the content of Bongo Fleva songs as a tool to build, promote and develop values in Tanzania. The aim of the article is to investigate how Bongo Fleva song artists deviated by presenting content that does not respect public values. By doing so, they lose their responsibility to be a mirror of the society by not presenting content that portrays the real situation of life and the issues that concern humans in their efforts to cope with life and its environment. The primary data were obtained from the library by watchful evaluation technique. The target selection method was used to find fourteen artists who sing songs that present content that is not productive for society. A review of the documents used to verify the primary data was obtained through electronic and library procedures. Data analysis and discussion were guided by Sociological theory. The results of the study are manageable in a descriptive means. The results of the study show the existence of a fall in the content of Bongo Fleva songs as a tool to build and develop values by presenting content that is not productive in society. Some of them encourage making love freely, careless sex as well as the use of vulgar language that contains insults and insults. As well, their appearance and clothing styles do not reflect public values because some of them do not wear clothes that cover them well. This article advises Bongo Fleva song artists to take deliberate steps to educate and motivate each other so that the content of their songs is based more on solid foundations that aim to build values and culture by referring to the real time and environment of their society and nation.
