MUSASE ( The Morning Sunrise) Quintet, is my 5 - piece band
I am excited to be presenting this band to you.
We chant in the language of the soul besides other languages such as  Swahili, Sumbwa, Nyamwezi, Sukuma and English. It is a sensational rhythmic  music that portrays the dance rhythms from Tanzania. Drawing the influence from my path as a Tanzanian musician living abroad. 
THE STORY OF THE BAND 

2021 The band was founded.
Humanity, humility, respect, and tolerance is the thing that brought this band to existence. Giving light, hope and joy in life is our treasure. 

Friendship or relationship sometimes starts as a coincidence. MUSASE started as a new spring in the middle of a dry land.
Challenges or seeking happiness are always the reason one wants to have the other.
This time was the challenges in life that made the band to be born. The story starts when I got asked to play  with my Bhutula Band supporting the movement by the name Black Lives Matters (BLM) as a charity gig. I wasn't able to get all the members of the band on short notice. 

I ended up calling other friends to whom I played together in the other bands by the names Soul Blenders, Shameless Shongololo and my old band Bhutula to be able to save in this event with a short rehearsal. We played a gig under the name SoBbreb ( Soul blenders Bhutula band) to save this happening. In 2021 the name changed to MUSASE, The Morning Sunrise from Sumbwa language, ethinic group from Tabora - Tanzania. 

The challenge of seeking happiness and freedom to live brought the band on the scene. The languages used in the songs include Swahili, Sumbwa, Sukuma sometimes in English. Sometimes the singing partly is improvisation, the language only the divine spirit can  tell.
