Review:
A hundred years of taarab in Zanzibar: This new collection presents popular Swahili music from the eastern coast of Africa — Lamu, Mombasa, Tanga, Dar es Salaam, Zanzibar and the Comoros — with archival recordings from the 1920s-1980s supplemented by contemporary recordings of special interest. Zanzibara vol.1 pays a tribute to Ikhwani Safaa, Zanzibar's (and probably Africa's) oldest music club, celebrating its centenary in 2005. — CalabashMusic.com |
