When 26-year-old Danish artiste Espen Sorensen aka Mzungu Kichaa was about to leave Denmark for an East African Tour, he received wide criticism from his countrymen for doing music ‘for the diaspora’, but it only fuelled his passion. He talked to MATILDA NZIOKIPulse: First and foremost why that name?
Mzungu Kichaa: Although I am originally from Denmark, I am one of the pioneers of Bongo Flava in Tanzania. I got that name from Bongo Records. In fact, Juma Nature and Solo Thang gave it to me due to my fluent Swahili rhyme spitting prowess. P: What did you think of it?
