The history of Malaika is interesting. This is what ChatGPT sais: History of the Song Malaika "Malaika" is a Swahili love song that has become one of Africa’s most iconic musical pieces. It is renowned for its beautiful, heartfelt lyrics and its romantic and melancholic melody. The song’s history is a subject of debate, but it remains a timeless classic in African music. Origins The song "Malaika" was composed in the 1940s or 1950s, though the exact date is unclear. The word "Malaika" means "angel" in Swahili, and the song is essentially a love ballad. Its lyrics express longing and lamentation for love that is unattainable due to financial and societal barriers. The song’s authorship has been widely disputed: Fadhili William (1938-2001): Many credit Kenyan musician Fadhili William with writing "Malaika" in 1956. He reportedly composed it for his girlfriend, whose family opposed their relationship because of his poverty. Fadhili William later recorded the song with his band, the Jambo Boys, in 1960. This version became immensely popular, especially in East Africa. Other Claims: Some Tanzanian sources claim that "Malaika" was written earlier by Tanzanian composer Adam Salim. According to this account, Salim composed the song in 1945 as a love letter to a woman he could not marry due to dowry demands. However, no conclusive evidence has definitively proved either claim.

This is what is written on Wikipedia: Authorship of this popular song is still very controversial. However, most people accredit its authorship to Adam Salim, a not-well-published Tanzanian songwriter. Salim (born in 1916) composed this song while he was living in Nairobi between 1945 and 1946.[2] According to this story, Adam Salim composed "Malaika" song in 1945 for his very beautiful girlfriend Halima Ramadhani Maruwa. Their parents disapproved of their relationship, and Halima was forced by her parents to marry an Asian tajir (wealthy man). Fadhili William, a Kenyan singer, is also associated with the song because he is the first person to record it.[3] Producer Charles Worrod provides yet another version, crediting the song to Grant Charo, William's brother-in-law (see Ondevo 2006), a claim which is also associated with the fact that Fadhili William was the first person to record the song. Charo is not known to have confirmed this claim.[1] Another East African claiming to have written the song is Lucas Tututu from Mombasa.[1]
