The Zadde Anthem
The zadde story.
Once there was a father named taata Tom.
Taata Tom loved his children more than anything in the world.
He wanted to be the best dad ever. He tried to parent his children like his parents had parented him.
But life had changed. The world moved faster.
His children got lots of external influence from gadgets, screens, and the neighborhood every day. And sometimes… the old ways just didn’t work anymore.
One evening, taata Tom sat quietly in his chair.
He sighed and whispered,
“Parenting used to be easier. Now, I feel lost. What happened?”
He felt tired. He felt alone.
Then one day, taata Tom met us.
We smiled and said,
“Taata Tom, you are not alone. Parenting is the most important job in the world — but it’s also the hardest.”
Taata Tom looked at us and asked softly, “So what can I do?”
We told him,“The world has changed, taata Tom.
So we need new ways to parent.
We learn from experts and researchers,
then we share their ideas in simple, easy words —
so every parent can understand.”
Taata Tom listened carefully.
But then he frowned and said,
“That sounds serious… I already feel tired.”
We laughed kindly.
“That’s why we use music too!” we said.
“Our music isn’t about parenting —
it’s about joy, laughter, and life.
It helps you relax,and it makes learning fun.”
Taata Tom smiled.
He tapped his feet to the beat.
He started to laugh again.
And little by little…
he began to learn new ways to talk, listen, train and love his children.
He tried the ideas we shared — and they worked!
His home felt lighter.His heart felt stronger.
And his children smiled more often.
Taata Tom looked at us with bright eyes and said,
“Thank you!
I thought I had to do this alone.
But you helped me see that parenting can be joyful again.”
We smiled and said,
“That’s what we do, taata Tom.
Together with other parents we grow by sharing research-based parenting knowledge and insights, with a touch of music.”
Because when parents learn with
joy, it creates a ripple effect in how they nurture their children and children grow with wisdom and love.
And together, we become better.

The story behind mzik and zadde.
Mzik And Zadde Initiative was not born in an office or a meeting room.
It was born on the roadside.One day, I was walking with my guitar past a group of roadside vendors. As soon as they saw the guitar, they became excited and began shouting, “Play for us a tune! Play for us a tune!”This was not new. Almost every time I moved with my guitar, people reacted the same way. The guitar naturally attracted attention. It gathered people.
But each time, I refused.Deep inside, I felt unprepared. I am a choral music trainer, not a street performer. The people asking for a tune usually expected something “pop,” and I feared that anything I played would disappoint them. My insecurity kept me silent.On that particular day, however, something changed.
I realized that beyond my fear of playing the wrong tune, I had something more important to share.Away from music, I had been reading widely about parenting psychology for my own growth as a parent. The Sunday before, I had shared some of these insights with fellow fathers during a fathers’ union meeting at church. Their response stayed with me. They said, “This is worth spreading nationwide.”So when the vendors again asked for a tune, I took courage.
I removed the guitar from its case and played a few gentle chords — no singing, just sound. As the music played, more people gathered. A small circle formed around me. The roadside became a meeting place.
Then I stopped.
I apologized and explained that I was not a pop performer and would likely fail if I tried to sing. The crowd was visibly disappointed. Some even booed.Then I said, “Instead of a song, I have something more profound to share — a parenting tip.”
I told them that through my reading, I had realized something simple but powerful: just as children have physical needs like food and clothing, they also have psychological needs. And it is the feeding of these psychological needs that grows a healthy child.As I spoke, the mood changed. Faces softened. People leaned in. The idea resonated. I played a few final chords, packed my guitar, and prepared to leave.
The crowd erupted into applause.Days later, I passed the same spot again, guitar in hand. This time, the vendors did not ask for a tune.
They chanted, “Zadde tip! Zadde tip! Zadde tip!”
Once again, I played a few chords as people gathered. Once again, I shared a parenting insight.After several such moments, it became clear to me:
music could gather people, and within that gathering, meaningful parenting conversations could happen.That was the moment Mzik And Zadde was born.“Mzik” represents music — the bridge that captures attention and brings people together.
“Zadde” means offspring — our children, and the reason parenting matters.Today, Mzik And Zadde Initiative exists to support parents by sharing research-based parenting knowledge and insights, using music to enhance learning, connection, and reflection.Our belief is simple:
