It is once again Thursday, and our “Throwback Thursday” segment highlights the group “Mabaga Fresh,” also known as “Chombo Cha Dola.” This hip-hop duo consists of two individuals with disabilities, Jumanne Omary, commonly referred to as “JB,” and Chritoms Mwingira, known as “DJ Snox,” both hailing from Temeke, Dar-es-Salaam.

In the 1990s, this rap group made significant contributions to the Tanzanian “new generation music scene.” They were instrumental in introducing one of the most notable and respected bongo flava artists, Juma Kassim Kiroboto, better known as “Juma Nature,” through their hit song “Mtulize,” which was produced by the renowned DJ Boni Luv.

Today, we will focus on a track from their debut album titled (Chombo cha Dola) called “Nishachanganyikiwa (Live Acapella).” This song was a favorite among fans, and each time they performed it live, the audience erupted with excitement.

The live rendition of “Mabaga Fresh Nishachanganyikiwa (Acapella)” took place during the album launch of Mr II, also known as Sugu, in 2001 at the then Kilimanjaro Hotel (Pool Side), now The Hyatt Regency Dar es Salaam. This event was part of the Muziki Na Maisha album launch. On that day, they also performed “Tupo Kamili” and “Hakuna Noma Ft Mac D & Manzese Crew.“
