Dark Chocolate is the first project BlackRoots Unlimited have worked on, showcasing the immense talent of the sensual, sultry and smooth voiced K’Angie Mtume. All the music is written, arranged and played by TShaka Mayanja.

‘Kids rarely eat Dark Chocolate. They have a sweet tooth. Dark Chocolate is usually for adults after dinner when the lights are turned down low, and the kids put to bed. Like love, Dark Chocolate is bittersweet’!

This album is specifically made for adults of the ages 28 years+. For the last six or so years, Uganda’s music industry has been producing and releasing music for mainly youth listeners, theatre goers and vernacular (Luganda and Swahili) speakers only. It’s also predominantly ‘dance music’.
Adults tend to love to unwind after a hard days work, and listen to some smooth, meaningful and well-produced music.
‘Dark Chocolate’ is Big People’s listening music. Lovers Rock Reggae at it’s finest!

TShaka has infused all his inspirations into this album. The Blues, Jazz, Soul, Funk, Afro-Cuban music and Roots Reggae music. The sensual, sweet and soothing voice of K’Angie Mtume reminds one of the legendary Sade among many other ‘smooth’ vocalists.
These are the dizzy heights we aspire to reach. We RESPECT our mentors.
We hope you’ll fall in love with this album.
One Love
