Moongateclimber ( talk) 14:06, 18 February 2011 (UTC) Reply Proposed addition to the Jambo Bwana entry Until then, I suggest we keep the correct form along with a foonote mentioning that it is arguable. As the original Mushrooms recording is not easy to get, and even in that case it would be probably hard to tell "m" from "n" by just listening, only the CD booklet (or secondary source reporting it) would be a satisfying way to cut the issue. (That "nzuri" is correct can be inferred from here or here if the reader has some general idea on the structure of swahili basically, adjectives change according to the class of the nouns they refer to, and for "habari", of class 9/10, the correct form of adjective "-zuri" is "nzuri"). Anyway, I think it makes a little more sense to use the correct swahili form. While the first form yields most google hits, it seems to be incorrect from a grammatical point of view (which, of course, doesn't mean the original song, or any of its latter versions, couldn't actually use it). One of their other hits, Ndogo Ndogo, was adapted as soundtrack of the Paul Singh-produced Kiswahili language film titled Mahari.Sources on the web variously report the second line of the lyrics as "habari gani? mzuri sana" or "habari gani? nzuri sana". Jambo Bwana, borrowed from a popular Kenyan folk song of the same name was an instant hit in the 1980s. ![]() Penned by Teddy Kalanda, the band leader, this song went on to sell 30,000 copies. One of the most famous of their songs is Jambo Bwana ( Hello, mister in Swahili), released in 1982 and often referred to as " Hakuna Matata" from refrain lines. In 2002 the band was renamed Uyoga, but the name "Them Mushrooms" has since been taken back. The group almost disbanded in 1992 when its drummer and songwriter Dennis Kalume died and George Zirro left the band to pursue a solo career.

African influences included Franco of TPOK Jazz from Congo, Egypt 80 and Manu Dibango of Cameroon while in the international front it was Otis Redding, James Brown, Wilson Pickett, Kool and the Gang, Earth, Wind and Fire, and also Madonna. This group rose to fame with a distinct blend of Taarab and Sega/ Benga folk music, before taking to Chakacha and spicing it up with rap and hip-hop beats. They are seen as East Africa's premier band. ![]() In 1972 the group was renamed Them Mushrooms, from the mystical magic mushroom species, that grow wildly across the depths of Africa's rain forests. In 2009 bandleader John Katana was among four. They mainly do covers of previously written hit songs. The band is composed of Teddy Kalanda, Henry Ndenge Saha and Ben Mutwiwa. They are most famous for the Swahili 1982 song Jambo Bwana. A fifth Harrison brother, Dennis Kalume, joined two years later. Them Mushrooms is a musical band from Kenya, playing mostly Chakacha, some Benga and also some reggae.
