Freddy Ndala Kasheba (died October 2004) was a Congolese guitarist, singer, and bandleader who was based in Tanzania for most of his career.[1][2] In 1969, he emigrated from Zaire to Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. He became the leader of the group Orchestra Safari Sound in 1979, and remained its leader until leaving after a dispute with the owner of the band's equipment. He then started his own band, Zaita Musica, in addition to pursuing a solo career. His reputation in Tanzania was such that he became known in Dar es Salaam as "Maestro Supreme".[3][4]
