Album Description

Tanzania is the new music capital of East Africa and from the spice islands of Zanzibar to the shores of the great lakes, The Rough Guide To The Music Of Tanzania explores the diversity of the country's culture as expressed in its popular music. This album features hip-hop with a Maasai tinge, Haya vocal rhythms from Lake Victoria, acoustic taarab sounds from the Indian Ocean, together with the guitars and horns of Dar Es Salaam's most famous dance bands.

The Diverse sounds of East African civilization.......2006-04-19

The East African nations of Kenya, Mozambique, Tanzania, Malawi, Uganda and Southern Somalia were all either a part of or heavily influenced by the Swahili civilization, whose prototype emerged as an indigenous civilization as early as 100 BC.

The civilization flourished independent of foreign political domination until 1500 AD, when the combination of European Imperialism and Middle Eastern expansionists raped and pillaged the Swahili and forced them into a cycle of destruction against themselves and their neighbors inland.

Regardless, the East African spirit has perservered and found independence through unity. If you want to hear the development of such unity in the form of classical Swahili music alongside Maasai youth embracing African American culture through Hip Hop, then there is no better place to start than this compilation.

Normally, I'm not a fan of The Rough Guide to "This Oppressed Country's Music" brought to you by their exploitative oppressors, but it is difficult to find East African music outside of such compilations in the United States. Unlike Western Africans, who are arguably the most influential people in modern music (via African Americans as well as contemporary "World Music" charts), Eastern Africa has not produced the equivalents of Fela Kuti or Salif Keita.

However, this region of the world has a rich musical heritage. The ancient combination of East African musical arrangements with the traditional Afro-asiatic style that emerged with Islam is noticable on several of the songs. Like it has in most of the world, West African sensibilities have also influenced the music of the Tanzanian people.

Like Mali, whose ancient heritage has created a sophistication in their music that they lead Africa's musical creativity, the combined legacy of Tanzania's Swahili civilization and their remarkable inland people such as the Maasai can bring forth this country for the rest of the world to hear.

Bongo Flava does East Africa bongo right! Viva Tanzania!.......2007-03-15

Absolutely love this CD, reminds me of my high school years growing up in TZ just a few years ago, and Juma Nature and friends rhyme about everything from life, love, liberty, politics and just about anything else relevant. Mind you, it's in Kiswahili, but I still think anyone can appreciate the sounds of this album.

True talent, good sound... a great mix for anyone who loves rap/hip-hop and African music... this is a smooth, smooth album.

As much as the content, it's the ambience of Zawose's music that gets you. It moves unhurriedly, lulling in the sound of the ilimba (thumb piano) and izeze (fiddle). But once his voice (and those of Dickson L. Mkwama and Lubeleje M. Chiute, who accompany him here) enters, you're completely transported. You don't know what he's singing about, but you are there with him, as the birds' wings sound in the trees, and the leaves rustle in the forest. Good music should take you to another time and place, and by the time this is over, you feel as if you know Tanzania in your blood, its heartbeats, its traditions, and lore. And you can't ask for more from music than that. --Chris Nickson

Mbongo mpenda muziki.......2007-06-18

What else can you ask more?this is the height of Remmy or as we call him dr.Remmy!anyone who knows his music will agree with me.He is not only just a musician but also a story teller;in his songs,Remmy tries to tell a story of an ordinary mwananchi(mlalahoi)socially and politically.Super matimila has dozens of songs but unforturnally very few has been put on cd...And it is not true that his english songs are weak as one user mentioned above,please note that, he is native speaker of lingala na swahili if you can't understand him in those two languages; then you can't get the real message....

My first Ongala disappointment.......2005-12-01

I thought this was one of Ongala's original recordings to remind me of 'good old days' growing up along the lake shores of western Kenya. It turns out this is Ongala renditioning some of his old popular songs in the English language. Comes out as artistically weak and unoriginal in my opinion. However, if you never knew Ongala's work of the 80s, or are not a diehard fan of authenticity you may actually find this CD enjoyable.

Stunning.......2004-04-24

This is a superb album for people or all musical tastes. The singing is polished and soulful. The rhythm section is exciting and compelling. But the guitar playing, in particular, is quite wonderful -- enormously complex and sophisticated, but also beautifully musical and melodic. If you like the music of Central and East Africa, you'll love this. If you've only heard West African performers, this will open a new world to you. If you've not had much experience with contemporary African sounds, this would be a great place to jump in. Get two copies, coz you'll wear the first one out!

Its an excellent CD. Mrema track highlights corruption.......1999-06-18

The CD has the smooth taste of Swahili music. I recommend the CD to all East Africans abroad. As usual Remmy is at his best again.

A delightful taste of Tanzania with a Congolese accent........1999-05-12

Everytime I hear Remmy sing,it reminds me so much of the Congolese sound that I love so much.

Great African Sampler.......2005-10-25

Lively and danceable, fun African music: Soukous (Zaire/Ivory Coast), Juju (Nigeria), Highlife (Ghana). Some tunes are longer jams.

But look for the Sterns pressing that includes two extra tracks, filling the CD with 79 minutes of music. That edition has a different cover: yellow border, with a graphic of two African dancers on a red background.

This CD is volume 1. There is also a second volume, available seper_warrior_.html">089 090 091 092 093 094 095 096 097 098 099 100 101
