Jay Mitta

Jay Mitta is a Singeli producer from Dar-Es-Salaam, Tanzania, Like his peers, Bamba Pana, DJ Balotelli, and DJ Longo, Jay Mitta combines traces of older, local folk melodies with elements of ‘Bongo Flava’, or up-to-the-minute Swahili rap music, but at breakneck tempos that give the sound its inexorable energy and verve. In 2019 he released his debut album « Tatizo Pesa » on Nyege Nyege Tapes. The title track features 14 year old MC sensation Dogo Janja on vocals.
