Jhikoman is a well-known Tanzanian reggae artist. His unique singing style and lyrics have been touching people since 1994. He's produced several albums and has performed widely in Europe and Africa. In his upcoming album Tupendane, Jhikoman keeps exploring, combining roots reggae with acoustic African sounds, which you can call Afro-Reggae. Using music as a tool for unification, the journey continues for Jhikoman to compose songs in a style without boundaries, a product of continued spiritual searchings and musical experimentation. Jhikoman mixes Kiswahili, English, and his native language Kinyasa. Jhikoman's music must be heard, preferably live, to be fully appreciated. Uplifting beats combined with positive words visibly move his audiences. Songs are composed in African and reggae styles (Afro-Reggae).
