Mzungu Kichaa has been selected to perform at SPOT festival, which is one
of the most prestigious showcase festivals in the country. At SPOT Mzungu
Kichaa will launch a new performance setup, which will be ”unplugged” and more
”raw” than ever.
”I realised that when I try
to enter a new territory with my music, the main problem I face is mobility. My
band is from Tanzania and I feel a band from Europe cannot replace them.
Therefore I decided to reinvent my music and create an ”unplugged” setup. However,
in August and November I will be touring Denmark again with my full Tanzanian
band. But I am very excited about standing on my own two feet and getting close
and personal with my audience through my ”unplugged” concerts this spring”.–
Mzungu Kichaa
Danish born Mzungu Kichaa
grew up in Africa. His eclectic life journey is reflected in his vibrant
sound, shaped by the diverse musical traditions he has encountered. The
award-winning artist is considered one of the most popular touring acts in East
Africa and is steadily gaining popularity on the international scene with his
unique interpretation of the Tanzanian genre, Bongo Flava.
When Mzungu Kichaa
released his debut album ”TukoPamoja” in 2009, all his songs were in Swahili.
In December 2012, he released an EP titled "Hustle", which includes
his first songs in English and resulted in a nomination for a Danish Music
Award in the category "Best World Track".
“For my new release I
decided to share my story with my non-Swahili speaking fans by writing in
English. Hustle is a project of self-discovery in search of my sound and
identity. It represents the universal fight for an existence and a plea to
never give up your dreams.” – Mzungu Kichaa
