Artist Detailed Info: Seghito

Seghito (born Annette Ngongi) is an Afro Jazz, soul, and blues vocalist from Tanzania.

Stage named Seghito (hehe for a girl), she started singing and performing live around 2008 at the famous Music school named Tanzanian House of Talent (THT). The band gets inspiration from famous African traditional and jazz artists like Fela Kuti and Miriam Makeba, and western modern jazz artists like Amy Winehouse to create tunes that are both versatile, entertaining and artistic.

Seghito who is the lead singer is also a fashion designer, is also the winner of the famous jazz artist award around 2012 (Jahazi Jazz festivals awards). What differentiates Seghito’s music style is her strong vocals shaped by live performing and vocal training and her energy on that stage, she fuses jazz, traditional and afro blues and reggae to a new level and the fact that she designs hers and her backlines costumes depending on the theme and symbolization of each performance she does. Seghito also organizes events around Tanzania and dreams of one-day making jazz a more mainstream genre.
