who, apart from producing some of Denmarks biggest artists, produced Metallica’s first
four albums.
“Staying true
to who I am, this single off my EP ‘Hustle’, is first and foremost for my
Tanzanian fans. However I will be pushing my personal boundaries when
Hustle hits the streets; The EP also has two songs in English and a
collaboration with one of my favorite Kenyan artists. I am very excited about
this release, as I have been dying to show my non-Swahili speaking fans what I
write about in my music”.
The songs
nomination for a Danish Music Award shows that Tanzanian Bongo
Flava has a wider appeal than ever before. Since the release of his debut
album, Tuko Pamoja, Mzungu Kichaa has been actively touring in Denmark with his
Tanzanian band, which explains how the artist landed this nomination. Mzungu
Kichaa has also toured Africa, with several concerts in Kenya, Uganda and
Tanzania.
Twende Kazi
encourages youth to take their futures into their own hands. It condemns
jealousy and the idea that success comes easily. Please see the lyrics for
Twende Kazi below:
