Them Mushrooms

Them Mushrooms is a musical band from Kenya, playing mostly Chakacha, some Benga and also some reggae. They are most famous for the Swahili song "Jambo Bwana". The band is composed of Teddy Kalanda, Henry Ndenge Saha and Ben Mutwiwa.

The group originally played the beach hotel circuit in Mombasa until 1986, with its coastal music influences. They then moved to Nairobi in 1987. [http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/433896.stm "Kenya: Journey through a rhythm nation"] , BBC News World: Africa. August 30, 1999.]
