MOROGORO Jazzband
Polydor POLP 500, East Africa 12 record
Morogoro Jazz Band, also known as K.Z. Morogoro Jazz Band, was a seminal Tanzanian muziki wa dansi band, one of the few that were not based in Dar es Salaam. The band originally played live at the Morogoro Hotel in Morogoro (about 200 km west of Dar) and became very popular in the 1960s and 1970s, receiving much airplay from Tanzanian radio stations. The leader of the band was guitarist Mbaraka Mwinshehe, a former member of Cuban Branch Jazz. The original lineup also included Salim Abdullah, who would later found Cuban Marimba.
Mwinshehe left Morogoro Jazz Band in 1973, to found another very successful dansi band, Super Volcano.
The Morogoro Jazz Band created a sound that was a fusion of many different influences, including taarab, Kenyan benga, Cuban rumba, American rhythm and blues, and British pop music.
Band led by saxophonist Kulwa Salum, featuring Mbaraka Mwinshehe on guitar solo and lead vocals. These recordings date from 1971.
