CHAGGA will be rembered for his first two Afro beat albums, Birungi and Omutima Gwange.

This year, his efforts on Omutima Gwange have deservedly spun off a PAM Award nod in the Best Afro beat artiste category. He contends with Jose Chameleone, Bobi Wine and Ngoni.

But despite all the musical success that Chagga seems to be enjoying this year, things haven’t been going on well for him. Since his exodus from Jose Chameleone’s Leone Island, Chagga has been involved in a number of brawls.

But, Chagga has struggled to put all this behind him. He has returned to the music scene with a different outlook — a new music style, studio and a lifestyle. Chagga recently released a reggae track that chronicles his amazing musical journey titled Sirina Musango. “I have decided that the public judges who is right or wrong,” Chagga maintains.

“From Yonno to Jangu Enno Maama, through to Omutima Gwange, one can, without bias, know where I am destined,” he adds.

His songs unfold naturally; the guitar sound is incredible and the backing harmonies.
