Long before Bongo Flava - there was Innocent and he is still at it. Ino has produced over 5 albums. He is a Rasta man who has managed to produce music balancing both reggae and his Tanzanian roots.
His message is real and genuine, which you quickly pick up on when you talk to him. For example upon hearing his hit song "KILIMANJARO", one could think that the message is about the famous majestic mountain in Africa...but paying more attention you quickly realize that there is a heavy message with references to oppressive governments, corrupt officials and starving children. The song takes you to the highest mountain in Africa with visions of all atrocities going on underneath.
His true dedecation to the message of international injusticies and the unpriviledged people in the world, makes Ino rare breed.
His live performances are very refreshing since one can enjoy "real" music where people actually know how to play the musical instruments as opposed to rhyming words over a pre-arranged musical loop from a computer.
Along with a supporting cast of musicians, Ino has endured a test of time. He and Onesmo Kibira first started Les Exodus until they spun off to form INNOCENT. Onesmo and Ino have been performing together since they were teenagers in Dar es salaam few moons back.
Below: Onesmo
His songs have been featured in Bongoland and Tusamehe movies. Look for more Ino tunes in the upcoming Bongoland II this November.
