This isn’t the first time Beyoncé has worn Tongoro, she dressed in its designs while vacationing in Italy in 2018:

Diouf, quoted in Cosmopolitan, described the brand as a "100% Made In Africa label".

Beyonce has described the song Spirit, and the rest of the Lion King album, as a "love letter to Africa", and said she wanted to ensure that it consisted of "the best talent from Africa".

Spirit opens with Swahili lyrics.

"Uishi kwa mda mrefu mfalme," a voice chants twice, with a deeper voice responding"uishi kwa".

The phrase means: "Long live the king."
