The unmistakable sound of East African reggae is back in the spotlight. Kenya’s beloved band Them Mushrooms, famous worldwide for their classic “Jambo Bwana,” have unveiled a vivid new re-issue of their celebrated album Tribute To Bob Marley—now streaming everywhere, including Spotify.
A Journey Through Time and Rhythm, first recorded as a heartfelt homage to the king of reggae, this collection carries the warmth of coastal Kenya while echoing the revolutionary spirit of Bob Marley. The re-issue lovingly restores every drumbeat and guitar lick, letting listeners hear the intricate harmonies, lilting Swahili inflections, and hypnotic bass lines in richer detail than ever before. Each track feels like an invitation to dance beneath palm trees while reflecting on Marley’s timeless call for peace and unity.
More Than a Re-Release, this isn’t simply a polished archive. Tribute To Bob Marley stands as a living bridge between two powerful musical worlds: Jamaica’s rebel reggae and Africa’s coastal rhythms. Enhanced mastering breathes clarity into the band’s layered percussion and warm brass sections, while careful curation keeps the soul of the original intact. It is both a celebration of Marley’s enduring influence and a reminder of Them Mushrooms’ role as pioneers of African reggae.
Celebrate the Legacy, with over four decades of music history behind them, Them Mushrooms continue to inspire across generations. Their re-issue invites longtime fans and first-time listeners alike to experience the joy, the defiance, and the heartfelt storytelling that have always defined their sound.
Press play, close your eyes, and let Tribute To Bob Marley carry you from the beaches of Mombasa to the heart of Kingston. Listen now on Spotify and rediscover a masterpiece that unites continents through rhythm and soul.
