Other musicians have joined the band to keep it going strong. The band took their name from the mystical magic mushroom species, that grow wildly across the depths of Africa’s rain forests.
They are seen as East Africa’s premiere band. This group rose to fame with a distinct blend of taarab and sega folk music, before taking to chakacha and spicing it up with rap and hip-hop beats.
