Danish born Mzungu Kichaa has spent much of his childhood living in Africa, and this is where he has transformed himself into Mzungu Kichaa which means something along the lines of ‘the crazy white man’.
Mzungu Kichaa plays a version of bongo flava - an urban music that blends reggae, rap, afro fusion and other styles of Tanzanian music. His star shines brightly in East Africa, where he broke through in 2009 with the album Tuko Pamoja and hit single Jitolee, featuring local stars Professor Jay and Mwasiti. In 2010, Mzungu Kichaa became a judge with Bongo Star Search, the Tanzanian equivalent to X-Factor, and in 2012 he released his EP Hustle. The first single from this release is called African Hustle - a duet with Kenyan star, Dela.
Mzungu Kichaa has been nominated twice for a Danish World Music Award, in 2009 in the category of Best World Album for Tuko Pamoja and in 2012 Twende Kazi was a candidate for Best World Track.
