Bongo Flava
A mix of hip hop with local melodies and Swahili lyrics, sometimes called Bongo Flava, updates and remakes of classic Tanzanian Dance Music (musiki wa dansi) tunes, pop taraab, neo-traditional pop like that of Saida karoli, singer song writers, and of course, all-powerful R&B. Bongo Flava, ragga, muziki wa dansi--from roots to Internationally Tuned Fusions. Almost unnoticed from the rest of the world a new generation of musicians have created their own style. Bongo Flava has quickly become East Africa?s number one selling pop music, rocking the airwaves through newly formed private radio stations in and around Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda.
