Journey
Hot Pot Family is a pioneering Bongo Flava collective from Tanzania, led by hip-hop artist Soggy Doggy (Anselim Trphone Ngaiza). The group came onto the music space in the early 2000s and became a notable presence during the Bongo Records period, working closely with producer P-Funk Majani.
They are best known for the track “Mambo Bado,” which highlighted their ability to combine Swahili wordplay with East African rhythmic influences. As part of the first wave of artists to commercialize Tanzanian hip-hop, they played a key role in shifting the local music industry away from Western imitation toward a more distinct Swahili-centered identity that helped shape modern Bongo Flava.
